U-Turn That Kills

Youngsters always follow their hearts. When they make one vital decision, they are usually not taking in depth analysis of good and bad effects of such decision. They just do it.

Taking illegal U-turn on highway is not a wise decision to be made. This type of mistake will make not only you to suffer but your family as well.

He said Choong and Liew died at the scene while Fong succumbed to injuries at 9am at the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC).

The Proton Waja’s driver, Sukvinderjit Singh, 27, also suffered serious injuries and has been admitted to the UMMC Intensive Care Unit.

ACP Arjunaidi said Choong was thrown out of the vehicle and died at the scene while Liew was flung out to an adjacent lane and was hit by a lorry.

Initial investigations revealed that the three friends were on their way back to Seri Kembangan, .

The case is being investigated under Section 41A of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless driving.
