Firearms, bullets found at accident scene
TEMERLOH: A pistol and pump gun, along with some 100 rounds of ammunition, were recovered at an accident scene involving two fatalities.
The 8.30pm accident at Km132 of the East Coast Expressway near here on Tuesday involved four vehicles.
Low Kim Boon, 65, and Nur Rashila Rosdan, 22, died on the spot after they were thrown out of their vehicles.
Policemen found a Smith & Wesson pistol, a pump gun with two bullets, Rimba 12 Bore bullets, Mega 12 Bore bullets, Buck Shot 12 Bore and two boxes containing 9mm Br.c S&B bullets.
Police are determining the owner of the firearms and ammunition.
Pahang Traffic Investigations and Enforcement Department head Superintendent Kamarulzaman Jusoh said investigations revealed Nur Rashila, who was driving a Perodua Myvi in the fast lane, was headed for Temerloh when she crashed into a lorry in the slow lane.
He said the Myvi then rear-ended a Toyota FJ Cruiser driven by Low. The impact sent the Toyota into the opposite lane before crashing into a ravine.
“A Proton Iswara then crashed into the Myvi. Witnesses claimed that Nur Rashila, a draughtsman, had lost control of her vehicle, which led to the accident,” he said yesterday.
Kamarulzaman said lorry driver Che Sharif Saad, 43, and the Proton Iswara driver, Sheikh Mohd Haniff Sheikh Hashim, 61, escaped unhurt.
It is understood that Low was a businessman from Kuantan and he was travelling to Kuala Lumpur. The victims were taken to Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital here.
