Pahang traffic investigation and enforcement head Kamarulzaman Jusoh said the 3.15pm crash involved a Toyota Hilux multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and a Chevrolet Optra car.

The four family members killed were car driver, ex-serviceman Muhamad Fadzli Aming, 45, his wife Nur Asyitah Abu Samah, 44, and their children, son Muhammad Iqmal, 13, and seven-year-old daughter Irina Nur Qhalesya, from Kampung Jeruas Sega, Raub.

Nur Asyitah died at the scene, while Irina Nur Qhalesyah was pronounced dead at the Kuala Lipis Hospital. Fadzli and Iqmal died soon after being sent to Raub Hospital.

Also killed in the crash was a passenger in the Toyota Hilux, Wan Syahrul Munif Wan Jaffar, 44, while the driver, aged 30, was injured on the arm and sent to Raub Hospital for treatment.

“The crash was believed to have occurred when the Toyota Hilux, which was from Kuala Lumpur and heading to Kota Bharu, Kelantan, skidded and veered into the opposite lane and collided with the car which the family was travelling in,” Kamarulzaman said in a statement today.
