Police detain woman following fatal highway accident in Malaysia

Police in Kuala Muda have detained a 36-year-old woman to assist in an investigation regarding a fatal accident on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) at Kilometer 114.4. The collision resulted in the deaths of a retired police officer, Suhaimi Saidin, 64, and his wife, Normah Hashim, 60.

Preliminary investigations suggest the accident occurred when two motorcycles, including a Yamaha XMAX ridden by the couple, collided with a Perodua Bezza. The car was reportedly moving from the emergency lane into the left lane following a driver change.

Assistant Commissioner Hanyan Ramlan stated that authorities are working to determine whether the detained woman was driving or acting as a passenger at the exact moment of the impact. Police have requested that anyone with dashcam footage of the incident come forward to assist with the ongoing investigation.
