PETALING JAYA: An 18-year-old’s head was severed in a horrific road accident in Kuala Terengganu after the van he was in collided with a car this afternoon.
Kuala Terengganu police chief Azli Noor said the incident which occurred at around 3.36pm today involved a Nissan Vanette and a Volkswagen Golf GTI, Bernama reported.
According to preliminary investigations, the Volkswagen with a family of five was on its way from Kuala Terengganu city centre to Losong when it skidded and rammed into a pole.
It then veered into the opposite lane and crashed into the minivan, which the victim’s father was driving.
“The accident caused the pole to collapse and pierce through the minivan, striking the head of the victim, who died at the scene,” said Azli, adding that the victim had been identified as Wah Han Keong.
The case is being investigated for causing death by reckless driving.
