GUA MUSANG: A 54-year-old woman's world fell apart when she lost two of her children and two grandchildren in a horrific crash at Jalan Utama, Felda Chiku 1 here.
Shahima Hamid, fainted three times at home and again at the hospital after identifying the bodies of her son Muhammad Faiz Nor Amran, 32; her daughter Nor Aina Imra, 21; and Faiz's young sons, Muhammad Aryan Fattah, five, and Muhammad Ayden Fattah, four.
Muhammad Faiz's wife, Tuan Norsyuhada Mohd Zain, 23, who was driving the car, suffered serious head and chest injuries after being trapped in her seat.
"My brother Faiz was very close to Mama, while Aina was our only sister among eight siblings. She was a first-year Universiti Utara Malaysia student and had just come home for her semester break," said another son, Muhammad Fakris, 23.
The family was returning to Pasir Mas, Kelantan, from Sepang, Selangor, after attending a programme last Saturday. They were supposed to arrive home on Monday (Aug 11).
The remains of the four victims will be buried on Monday night at the Kampung Padang To'La Muslim Cemetery in Pasir Mas.
In a statement, Gua Musang OCPD Supt Sik Choon Foo said the crash happened at 9.15am when the car heading towards Kuala Krai lost control and veered into the path of an oncoming lorry.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
