Maran district police chief Norzamri Abd Rahman said the victims were Sergeant Major Roslan Maon, 50, and Constable Watson Edin, 23.

He said both victims were attached to the Pahang police contingent headquarters here and were travelling from Bentong to Kuantan.

“The victims were escorting the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2018 examination paper when the accident occurred at 3.20pm.

“Roslan was thrown out of the vehicle due to the impact of the accident while Watson was trapped in the car,” he said.

Norzamri said the accident was believed to have been caused by the slippery road conditions as it was raining.

Police sought assistance from the Fire and Rescue Department to remove the victims from the wreckage.

He said the remains were sent to the Jengka Hospital, in Maran, for a post-mortem.
