Part-time model who drove against traffic was fleeing earlier accident

BUKIT MERTAJAM: The 19-year-old part-time model, who drove against traffic on the North-South Expressway and crashed her car killing a motorist and injuring four others, was involved in an earlier accident some five kilometres away prior to the deadly mishap.

Central Seberang Perai OCPD Asst Comm Nik Ros Azhan said the woman told police during the investigation that she had seen "a lorry" in front of her car right before the Sungai Dua toll plaza, causing her to make a sudden and illegal U-turn.
