HULU SELANGOR — The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has completed its report on the fatal crash at the Bukit Kajang Toll Plaza which claimed the life of a baby and injured seven others.
JPJ Senior Director of Enforcement Datuk Muhammad Kifli Ma Hassan said inspections and a Road Safety Audit (JISA) on the logistics company operating the lorry involved have also been completed.
“The investigation has been fully completed and an audit was carried out on the company... the report has been submitted to the minister (Transport Minister Anthony Loke) today before he makes an announcement,” he told a press conference at the JPJ Enforcement Station in Kalumpang here today.
The accident last Saturday involved a lorry believed to have experienced brake failure, a car and two sport utility vehicles (SUVs), resulting in the death of a one-year-old boy and injuries to seven individuals.
On Monday, Kajang District Police Chief ACP Naazron Abdul Yusof said police had recorded statements from seven individuals to assist in the investigation and that the investigation papers had also been referred to the Public Prosecutor.
Naazron said action against the lorry driver’s employer is also being reviewed with the relevant agencies, and the lorry involved will be sent for inspection by the Chemistry Department and Puspakom today to determine the cause of the accident.
According to Naazron, the lorry driver who had been remanded to assist investigations was released on police bail yesterday pending the full report and analysis, with the case being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
