> Fatal van crash: Traders not supposed to leave market early, council says
THE van driver who rammed into night market stalls at Golden Hill in Cameron Highlands on Sunday, resulting in two deaths, reportedly violated licensing rules when he left the area early before the permitted time. According to district council president Datuk Zainal Abidin Md Amin, all traders are not supposed to drive their vehicles out from the night market site before 11pm.
It was reported that the 30-year-old trader had revved his van's engine to disperse the crowd before ramming into a number of stalls at about 9.45pm on Sunday.
Zainal Abidin said the council would wait for police to complete their investigation before taking action against the trader.
Meanwhile, the council would station more officers at the night market to monitor traders, especially after 11pm.
