MALACCA Monday July 16, 2012: Two men died and two others were injured in an accident involving a car and two motorcycles at the Alor Gajah-Malacca-Jasin Highway and Peringgit/Melaka Sentral junction.
A Proton Saga Aeroback, driven by Noh Hamrizal Ahmad, 21, was believed to have skidded into the other lane and caused the collision at 2.50am yesterday.
His passenger Abdul Rahup Yusof, 19, a boat crew member from the Petronas Refinery in Sungai Udang here, died on the spot while Noh Hamrizal sustained facial injuries.
Deadly crash: Passers-by looking at the heavily damaged car at the accident scene. Inset: Abdul Rahup (left) and Muhammad Firdaus.
One of the motorcyclists, Muhammad Firdaus Md Said, 19, died on the spot while the other, Khairul Bismi, suffered leg and chest injuries.
Noh Hamirzal and Khairul were warded at the Malacca Hospital.
Police and firemen who arrived at the scene found Abdul Rahup trapped in the mangled car.
Muhammad Firdaus' mother Zuraidah Ghani, from Telok Mas near here, said she could not believe it when she was told that her son had died in an accident.
She said Muhammad Firdaus had hugged her the day before and she was surprised at that because he was not a person who expressed his love publicly.
“I asked him why he did that, but he just smiled.
“Before the accident, he told me he was going out for an asam pedas dinner, but he never came home,” she said, adding that Muhammad Firdaus, the fourth of six siblings, was especially close to her.
Zuraidah said Muhammad Firdaus' death had hit her very hard and the timing was especially bad as this was the second tragedy for the family within a month.
She said Muhammad Firdaus' elder brother died of cancer last month.
Melaka Tengah OCPD Asst Comm Salehhudin Abd Rahman said the cause of the accident was being investigated.
