“The vehicle spun out of control and entered the opposite lane.
“At that moment, the driver of a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) from the opposite lane was unable to avoid Sakinah’s car, resulting in a collision with the left side of the vehicle,” ACP Heisham said.
Due to the impact of the collision, both the driver and front passenger were pinned to their seats and had to be extricated by firefighters. They were both pronounced dead at the scene.
