Grieving husband remembers Johor crash victim’s last words

KOTA TINGGI: "You get out of the car first" - those were Nurul Nazihah Kamalul Arifin's last words to her husband before she was killed in their burning car after a four-vehicle crash at KM45.7 of the North-South Expressway on Saturday night (Oct 15).

Holding back tears, the victim's husband, Redzuan Jamil, 28, said he was removed from the car in time by members of the public and tried to save his wife who was stuck in the car, but failed.

Redzuan, who suffered bruises in the face from the crash, said that the loss of his wife, also 28, was deeply felt because during the three years together, they were never apart.

Earlier, a video went viral showing a man wailing in grief as his wife was pinned in the burning car on the highway.

The mood was sombre as the van carrying the body entered the Kampung Temenin Lama cemetery here at about 3.30pm Sunday (Oct 16).

The funeral prayer was earlier performed at An-Nur Mosque in Kampung Batu Empat before Nurul Nazihah’s remains were taken to her parent's residence in Kampung Lukut.

Another individual in a sedan, whose identity has yet to be identified, was also killed while four others survived in the four-vehicle crash near Sedenak at 7.47pm Saturday. - Bernama
