KUALA BERANG: A father and his preschool son were killed in a collision with a car at KM15 of Jalan Gaung-Kuala Ping-Teris near Kampung Tengkawang here on Monday (Nov 11).
Hulu Terengganu district police chief Deputy Supt Zainul Mujahidin Mat Yudin said that Saiful Azrin Awang, 42, was taking six-year-old Muhammad Daim Irfanshah on a motorcycle to the Community Development Department (KEMAS) preschool nearby.
He said a preliminary investigation found that the two victims collided with the left door of a Proton Saga travelling from the opposite direction in the 7.45am incident.
"The car driver, a dentist, wanted to turn into a junction to go to his workplace when the motorcycle, with the two victims astride coming from Kampung Gaung, collided with the left side of the car,” he said when contacted.
Zainul Mujahidin said Muhammad Daim Irfanshah died on the spot while his father, who suffered a fractured skull and bleeding in his lungs, was taken to the Hulu Terengganu Hospital.
However, Saiful Azin, a labourer, died at about noon while undergoing treatment.
"The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987,” he said. - Bernama
