KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 — The 24-year-old driver of a BYD Seal involved in a fatal six-vehicle pile-up along Jalan Kuching last weekend was brought to the court complex here today to face three traffic offences, including causing the death of a five-year-old girl.

Handcuffed and dressed in a green shirt, the suspect was escorted by traffic police personnel to the Kuala Lumpur magistrate's court this morning, NST reported.

He was arrested yesterday upon his discharge from a private hospital, where he had been treated for a concussion sustained during the crash, before being held overnight at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters lock-up.

The man will be charged under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving, which carries a mandatory jail term and heavy fines upon conviction.
