KLUANG, Oct 3 — A husband and wife were killed, and their two daughters were seriously injured in an accident involving a car and a lorry at Kilometre 72.5 of Jalan Batu Pahat-Mersing this afternoon.
Kluang police chief ACP Bahrin Mohd Noh said the crash involved a lorry driven by a 34-year-old man from Kluang heading towards Kahang and a Hyundai Matrix coming from the opposite direction.
He said investigations found that the Hyundai Matrix, driven by a 54-year-old local man, is believed to have lost control due to slippery road conditions before entering the opposite lane and colliding with the lorry.
“As a result of the collision, the car driver and his 49-year-old wife sustained severe head and bodily injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene.
