At 2.30am on Monday morning (13 May), two youths have reportedly been killed in a fatal car accident that happened along Cecil Street Ghaut in Penang. According to NST, the victims have been identified as Andy Meyrick from Cheras and Jusse D. Dolisip from Kota Marudu, Sabah. They were 25 and 29 years old respectively.
It was reported that the car they were travelling in had skidded before turning turtle; it then rammed into a bus stop at Gat Lebuh Cecil. Firemen from the Beach Street and Perak Road fire stations were then immediately dispatched to the scene and there were sightings of a Proton Persona with all four wheels facing upwards while the two victims were pinned to their seats, said Lebuh Pantai Fire and Rescue Department operations officer Saiful Bahri Abdul Kadir.
