Hulu Selangor police chief Supt R Supramaniam said the north-bound trailer lorry, laden with earth, was believed to have gone out of control before it skidded and landed on the Ssangyong MPV, which was heading in the same direction.
“All the six victims died at the scene in the 7.40am incident.
“Police are still trying to establish if the victims are related,” he told Bernama.
The dead were Lam Leong Choy, 76, Low Wai Loon, 46, Lam Jie Yang, 19, Wong Check Lee, 53, Lam Jie Hong, 13, and Lam Wai Keat, 38.
Supramaniam said all the bodies were brought to the Kuala Kubu Bharu Hospital.
He said the trailer lorry driver was not injured and had been brought the Hulu Selangor police station for urine and blood tests.
He added that the case had been classified as reckless driving resulting in deaths.
Meanwhile, Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Mohd Sani Harul said they were alerted about the accident at 7.42am and despatched a team of six rescuers from the Kuala Kubu Bharu fire station.
“They took an hour and 15 minutes to extricate the victims from the MPV,” he said.
In LAHAD DATU, six people, including a woman and two children, were killed after their car was involved in a collision with a four-wheel-drive vehicle at Km32 Jalan Lahad Datu-Tawau here last night.
Lahad Datu police chief ACP Hamzah Ahmad, in a statement here today, said the 10pm incident took the lives of Said Tuan Ramba, 28, and five others in the Proton Saga car, namely Ismail Mangu, 25, Markus Mae Siku, 52, Parida Perada Jamuludin, 35, Shahril Ismail, five, and Putri Ismail, two.
He said the accident happened after the Proton Saga, which was on its way from Lahad Datu to Tawau, went out of control at a bend and crashed into an Isuzu Dmax coming in the opposite direction.
“The Isuzu driver could not avoid the car as it was too close,” he said, adding that the driver of the 4WD also sustained serious injuries.
