Hulu Terengganu:A KFC fast-food restaurant manager was fatally struck by a car while crossing the road at Kilometre 31 of Jalan Kuala Terengganu-Bukit Besi, near Ajil Mosque.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the victim, identified as Nor Haizura Mamat Sidek, 45, succumbed to severe head injuries at the scene. District police chief Supt Sharudin Abdul Wahab reported that the accident involved a Proton Saga traveling from Kuala Terengganu towards Kuala Berang, driven by a 24-year-old man with a 22-year-old female passenger.

The incident occurred around 815 pm when the victim was believed to be crossing the road. Her body was subsequently transported to the Hulu Terengganu Hospital Forensic Unit for a post-mortem examination. Neither the driver nor the passenger was injured in the accident.

The police noted that the road was wet due to rain, and the accident occurred on a two-lane straight stretch with heavy traffic. Poor visibility was a factor, as it was dark and the area lacked street lighting. The case is under investigation under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
