TWO siblings were killed – and their parents and a younger brother were severely injured – in a car crash at KM44.1 on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway in Bentong early today.

Pahang traffic investigation and enforcement division chief Kamarulzaman Jusoh said the family was heading to their hometown in Kelantan from Shah Alam at 3.20am when the driver apparently lost control of the vehicle.

Wafa Safia Mohd Hairy, 17, and her brother Adam Haiqal, 12, died at the scene.

Their parents – Mohd Hairy Ahmad and Zuraini Zolkifli, both 44 – and younger brother, Fahmi Eyman, 10, sustained serious head and bodily injuries.

“We believe the car slid, aided by slippery road conditions, when the driver tried to overtake another car near a corner, before it turned turtle,” Kamarulzaman said.

All victims were taken to Bentong Hospital for treatment and post-mortem. – Bernama, December 17, 2021.
