Police to take statement from sole survivor of fatal lorry crash in Kuala Lumpur

Authorities in Kuala Lumpur plan to record a statement from the sole survivor of a tragic accident involving an Immigration Department lorry, once her condition stabilizes.

The 55-year-old woman, who is currently receiving treatment in the yellow zone at Kuala Lumpur Hospital, is reported to be in stable condition. She is the wife of one of the three victims who died in the incident and the mother of the other two deceased.

According to Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department Director Datuk Seri Muhammed Hasbullah Ali, police will obtain her statement to aid their investigation. The accident unfolded around 1 a.m. when the Immigration lorry, en route to Chow Kit to apprehend foreign nationals, entered the Maju Junction intersection against a red light.

The lorry, with its beacon and siren activated, collided with a Proton Saga that was proceeding through a green light. This impact caused the lorry to lose control, swerve, and hit four pedestrians, who were part of the same family. The lorry also struck an Inokom Matrix vehicle.

Her condition is stable for now, and once she improves, we will obtain her statement.
