Another victim of Bukit Kajang toll plaza crash dies

Another victim involved in the four-vehicle crash at the Bukit Kajang Toll Plaza died today after nine days at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Kajang Hospital.

Kajang police chief Naazron Abdul Yusof said the 48-year-old male civil servant died at 11am.

“It is with regret that we inform that another victim of the Bukit Kajang Toll Plaza accident has been confirmed dead. The remains will be handed over to the family once the post-mortem process at Kajang Hospital is completed.

“This brings the total number of fatalities in the incident to two,” he said in a statement today.

The accident on Sept 27 involved a lorry believed to have experienced brake failure, a car, and two sport utility vehicles (SUVs), resulting in the death of a one-year-old boy and injuries to seven others.

Police have remanded the 42-year-old lorry driver until Oct 1, and the case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

Naazron said the investigation report is still being finalised as the police are awaiting a full analysis from the relevant agencies.
