Kluang fatal two-vehicle collision kills retiree and child

A two-vehicle collision on the Kluang-Kota Tinggi road near Sindora Estate resulted in the deaths of a 72-year-old man and his six-year-old daughter. The deceased man, identified as Musa Md Jais, a retiree from the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), died at the scene after sustaining severe injuries to his body, face, and legs.

His daughter, Nur Alesya Musa, passed away while receiving treatment at Hospital Enche Besar Hajjah Khalsom (HEBHK) following internal abdominal injuries. Other passengers in the Proton Ertiga, including the man's wife and another child, sustained injuries to their heads, limbs, and hands.

Preliminary investigations by the Kluang District Police suggest the accident occurred when a Honda Civic, driven by a 23-year-old man, lost control and entered the oncoming lane, colliding with the Proton Ertiga. The occupants of the Honda Civic, including a three-year-old child, also sustained various bodily injuries. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
