A grieving Malaysian father demands an explanation from a local transportation company after his daughter lost her life in an accident involving a van.
In the fatal accident that happened on Sunday (14 September) along Jalan Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur, the 26-year-old victim was hit and dragged for 10 metres. The driver claimed that he was unaware that he had hit someone, as he did not see anything in the rear mirror.

The father of the victim, in the meantime, wanted an explanation from the company, saying that when he was at the scene, the driver did not say anything and looked dazed.
He said that after the driver hit his daughter, the loud noise attracted the attention of a large number of people. They shouted at the driver to stop, but the driver did not stop and continued to move forward, dragging his daughter’s body, according to China Press.
“After I have dealt with my daughter’s funeral, I will personally seek an explanation from the company.“
The parents also said that they refuse to accept the driver’s apology and will not allow him to visit her funeral.
