“They were very happy this morning to collect the car, but everything happened so suddenly.<\/p>\n

Firefighters had to use hydraulic rescue equipment to extricate the victims trapped inside the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses at the scene suggested that Ahmad Syafiq may have momentarily dozed off at the wheel, causing the vehicle to lose control and veer into the oncoming lane.<\/p>\n

Lorry driver wasn’t speeding nor under the influence of drugs or alcohol<\/h3>\n

Kedah Police Chief, Datuk Adzli Abu Shah, confirmed that the truck driver was holding a valid driving license, was not speeding, and tested negative for drugs, reports Sin Chew Daily News.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that preliminary blood and urine tests showed the 47-year-old truck driver was completely sober and free of illegal substances.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the truck was travelling at approximately 60 km\/h, well within the designated speed limit for that stretch of road.<\/p>\n

However, a background check revealed that the truck driver has a record of seven traffic summonses, four of which remain unpaid warrants.<\/p>\n

The driver is being detained, and police will seek a remand order at the Sungai Petani Magistrates’ Court on 8 June.<\/p>\n

Family was travelling to visit the grave of their late father<\/h3>\n

Datuk Adzli disclosed that the family, originally from Merbok in Central Kedah, was believed to be on their way to a local cemetery to clean and visit the grave of their late father when the tragedy struck.<\/p>\n

He added that the deceased driver, Ahmad Syafiq, had served in the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) for about six years.<\/p>\n

He had previously been stationed in Sabah before transferring to his current post in Penang about a year ago.<\/p>\n

The case is currently being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.<\/p>\n
