“The two bodies were handed over to the police for further action, while the injured victims were sent to Hajjah Khalsom General Hospital, Kluang and a nearby health clinic,” he added.

Kluang District Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Low Hang Seng said “Preliminary investigation found that the Hyundai Elantra car that the victim was driving in was behind two trucks and four cars that stopped at the traffic light junction towards Ayer Hitam.”

“A 10-ton truck coming from behind is believed to have lost control before crashing into the victim’s car and six other vehicles in front,” he added on.
