PETALING JAYA: Three people – including a pregnant woman – were killed when they were thrown out of a car in a horrific crash in Taman Puchong Utama.
Indonesians Ning Tiyas and Lancy, as well as Ning’s Malaysian husband, known only as Azni, 42, died when their car crashed into a billboard and plunged into a monsoon drain.
It is believed that the driver lost control of the vehicle while travelling to a kenduri in Taman Equine, Serdang. Ning was six months’ pregnant.
The car, horribly mangled by the force of the collision, was found at the bottom of the 4m-deep drain.
Their friend, known only as Alfin, 34, said Lancy had been visiting Malaysia and was supposed to return to Indonesia today.
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant operations director Mohd Sani Harul said its personnel arrived at the scene to find the bodies of the victims scattered.
“The bodies were thrown out of the vehicle. One of the bodies was retrieved several metres away from where the car was found.
“The victim might have been dragged by the water in the drain,” he said.
A medical team from the Serdang Hospital pronounced the victims dead, said Mohd Sani, adding that the department was called to remove the bodies at around 10.05am.
Confirming the incident, Subang Jaya deputy OCPD Supt Lee Swee Meng said the women were aged 21 and 20.
The bodies were sent to the Serdang Hospital for post-mortem. The case is being investigated for reckless driving.
