The crash happened around 11 PM when Nur Alya was riding a Yamaha Ego Avantiz with Siti Nur Syafiqah as her passenger. The car suddenly slammed into them from behind, and both were pronounced dead at the scene due to severe injuries.
Temerloh District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Hassan, said the car was driven by a 38-year-old man from Kepong, Kuala Lumpur, who was not injured in the crash.
“While the suspect’s urine test came back negative, a further search of the vehicle uncovered two clear plastic packets in the back seat, believed to contain 50.85 grams of syabu and 0.85 grams of heroin,” he said.
“Any witnesses are urged to come forward”
The suspect has been arrested and is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.
The victims’ bodies have been sent to the Forensic Unit at Hospital Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah (HoSHAS) for post-mortem, while the vehicle involved has been referred to PUSPAKOM for further inspection.
