KUCHING, Oct 7: A 45-year-old man was fined RM6,000 by the Magistrate’s Court today after he pleaded guilty to causing the death of a 33-year-old woman in a negligent driving incident five years ago.
Magistrate Ling Hui Chuan also ordered him to serve three months in jail if he failed to pay the fine.
The court heard that the accused was driving a Toyota Caldina MPV along Jalan Batu Kawa, Sungai Moyan, Bau, at about 11.30am on Aug 31, 2021, when he lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the rear of a Perodua Kenari travelling ahead.
The impact sent the Kenari into a concrete road divider, causing it to overturn and throwing its driver from the vehicle.
