KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — The lorry driver remanded after Saturday’s fatal crash at the Bukit Kajang Toll Plaza will be released tomorrow on police bail, pending reports and analysis, said Kajang district police chief Naazron Abdul Yusof.
He said police have recorded statements from seven witnesses and the investigation papers have also been referred to the public prosecutor.
“Action against the lorry driver’s employer is also being reviewed with relevant agencies,” he said in a statement today.
Naazron said the lorry involved will be sent for inspection by the Chemistry Department and the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) on Thursday to determine the cause of the crash.
He added that one victim has been transferred to Putrajaya Hospital, another remains under treatment at Kajang Hospital, while one more was discharged yesterday from a private hospital in Kajang.
The media previously reported that the crash on Saturday involved a lorry believed to have experienced brake failure, a car and two SUVs, resulting in the death of a one-year-old boy and injuring seven others.
The remand period for the 42-year-old lorry driver ends tomorrow. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
