BATU PAHAT, Oct 3 — The daughter of a couple who died in a road crash at Kilometre 72.5 of Jalan Batu Pahat-Mersing yesterday never expected an incident she initially thought was minor to claim her parents’ lives.
Ain Zanariah Mislan, 33, said she received news that her mother, Nor Azilah A Rahman, 49, and father, Mislan Osman, 54, had been killed after their car collided with a lorry while they were returning home from Endau, Mersing, after sending off her grandmother.
She was at work when she received the call at about 5.30pm. Her husband, Mohd Hazerul, 33, then broke the news that her parents had died, while her two younger sisters, who were also in the Hyundai Matrix, were injured.
“At first, I thought it was just a minor accident... my husband tried calling my sister’s mobile phone, but someone else answered and said our parents had been pronounced dead at the scene. The person who answered was a driver right behind their car.
