Two foreign nationals were killed early Friday morning when the car they were in collided with
00:07
a truck making a U-turn on the Alor Gaja Malacca Tengajasin AMJ highway at Tiangdua near Serkum.

The incident occurred at around 5.30 a.m. The victims, 47-year-old Abdullah Syed,

a Bangladeshi man driving a Toyota, and his passenger Nguyen Thanh Lohan,
00:27
aged 46, a Vietnamese woman, were pronounced dead at the scene due to severe injuries.

Malacca Tengah OCPD Assistant Commissioner Christopher Petit said preliminary investigations
00:40
indicate that the truck, driven by a 48-year-old man from Jacin, was making a U-turn to enter a
00:46
factory when it was struck by the victim's car coming from the direction of Malacca,
00:51
which was unable to avoid the collision. The impact caused both victims to be trapped in the car
00:57
and suffer serious injuries to the face, body, and legs before being confirmed dead at the scene.

The truck driver was unharmed. ACP Christopher said skid marks measuring 45 meters were found at the
01:11
scene. The case is being investigated under Section 41, Subsection 1 of the Road Transport Act 1987
01:19
for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving. A urine test returned negative for drugs and a blood
