“The firefighters took about 30 minutes to remove the victim whose legs were clamped on the front of the lorry,” Azman Shari’at said.
“The victim was confirmed dead after arriving at the Serdang Hospital and the case was investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.”
This must’ve been such a painful death for the victim, to have been dragged a few hundred metres while still being alive. May he rest in peace. 🙁
