Port Dickson:A man lost his life and his wife and daughter sustained injuries following a collision between their Perodua Myvi and a lorry at KM13.5 of Jalan Lukut-Sepang.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, the incident occurred at 6.50 pm when the lorry, driven by a 46-year-old man suspected to be under the influence of alcohol, allegedly lost control and veered into the opposite lane, resulting in the crash. The driver of the car, aged 35, succumbed to severe injuries at the scene, while his 32-year-old wife and their five-year-old daughter were injured.
Port Dickson district police chief Supt Ahmad Afiq Mohd Adnan reported that although the lorry driver was unharmed and his initial urine test was negative, a breathalyser test indicated an alcohol level above the legal limit. The victims were transported to Port Dickson Hospital for further medical treatment.
The lorry driver has been apprehended, and the case is currently under investigation under Section 44(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
