BYD Seal driver hauled to court over six-vehicle Jalan Kuching crash that killed toddler

A 24-year-old driver involved in a fatal six-vehicle collision on Jalan Kuching has appeared in the Kuala Lumpur magistrate's court facing three charges, including causing the death of a five-year-old girl.

Arrested following his release from hospital after sustaining a concussion in the crash, he is charged under the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless or dangerous driving leading to death, along with failing to stop and report the incident.

The crash, which occurred amid sluggish traffic, resulted in fatalities and serious injuries, highlighting the severe consequences of reckless driving.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 15 — The 24-year-old driver of a BYD Seal involved in a fatal six-vehicle pile-up along Jalan Kuching last weekend was brought to the court complex here today to face three traffic offences, including causing the death of a five-year-old girl.

Handcuffed and dressed in a green shirt, the suspect was escorted by traffic police personnel to the Kuala Lumpur magistrate's court this morning, NST reported.

He was arrested yesterday upon his discharge from a private hospital, where he had been treated for a concussion sustained during the crash, before being held overnight at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters lock-up.

The man will be charged under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving, which carries a mandatory jail term and heavy fines upon conviction.

He is also set to face charges under Section 42(1) for reckless and dangerous driving, alongside Section 52(1) for failing to stop and report a road crash.

The fatal crash occurred at 3.44pm on Saturday along Jalan Kuching, involving five cars and a motorcycle.

Preliminary police investigations revealed that traffic was moving sluggishly from the city centre towards Segambut when the electric sedan allegedly rammed into the rear of a Perodua Bezza driven by the victim's 30-year-old father.

The impact sent the Bezza spinning out of control across the road. The sedan struck a motorcycle before careening into the far right lane, where it ploughed into three oncoming vehicles: a Nissan Almera, a Toyota Alphard, and a Perodua Myvi.

The five-year-old girl, who was seated in the rear of the Bezza, suffered catastrophic head trauma. Medical personnel pronounced her dead after she was rushed to Hospital Kuala Lumpur.

Her father escaped with injuries to his right hand, while the 33-year-old rider of the Yamaha 135LC sustained serious head injuries.

Police subsequently tracked down and identified the driver of the electric vehicle at the private medical facility where he had sought treatment.

一名24岁的司机在古晋路发生的一起造成六车相撞的致命事故中受伤，他已在吉隆坡地方法庭出庭，面临三项指控，其中包括造成一名五岁女童死亡。

在车祸中遭受脑震荡后，他从医院出院，随后被警方逮捕。他被控违反 1987 年《道路交通法》，犯有鲁莽或危险驾驶致人死亡罪，以及未停车报告事故罪。

事故发生在交通拥堵的情况下，造成人员伤亡和重伤，凸显了鲁莽驾驶的严重后果。

吉隆坡，10 月 15 日讯——上周末在古晋路发生的一起造成六车连环相撞的致命事故中，一辆比亚迪 Seal 汽车的 24 岁司机今天被带到吉隆坡法院，面临三项交通违法指控，其中包括造成一名五岁女童死亡。

据《新海峡时报》报道，今天上午，嫌疑人戴着手铐，身穿绿色衬衫，由交警人员押送至吉隆坡地方法庭。

他昨天从一家私立医院出院后被捕，此前他因车祸中遭受脑震荡在该医院接受治疗。出院后，他被关押在当旺宜区警察总部拘留所过夜。

该男子将根据 1987 年《道路交通法》第 41(1) 条被控鲁莽或危险驾驶致人死亡，该条款规定，一旦罪名成立，将面临强制性监禁和巨额罚款。

他还将被控违反《交通法》第 42(1) 条，即鲁莽和危险驾驶；以及违反《交通法》第 52(1) 条，即未停车报告交通事故。

这起致命车祸发生在周六下午 3 点 44 分，地点位于古晋路，涉及五辆汽车和一辆摩托车。

初步警方调查显示，事发时，从市中心开往泗岩沫的交通缓慢，一辆电动轿车据称撞上了受害者30岁的父亲驾驶的Perodua Bezza的尾部。

撞击导致Bezza轿车失控旋转，横穿马路。这辆轿车先是撞上一辆摩托车，然后冲入最右侧车道，撞上三辆迎面驶来的车辆：一辆日产Almera、一辆丰田Alphard和一辆Perodua Myvi。

这名五岁女童当时坐在贝扎轿车的后排，头部遭受重创。她被紧急送往吉隆坡医院后，医护人员宣布她已死亡。

她的父亲右手受伤，侥幸逃脱；而驾驶雅马哈 135LC 摩托车的 33 岁骑手头部严重受伤。

警方随后在电动汽车驾驶员就诊的私人医疗机构找到了他，并确认了他的身份。
