KOTA BHARU, Feb 1 (Bernama) -- A married couple were killed while their two children were injured after their car collided with a trailer at Kilometre 3, Jalan Gua Musang-Kuala Krai, early this morning.
Gua Musang district police chief Supt Sik Choon Foo said that the male driver, 25, his wife, 26, their son, 5, and baby daughter, 10 months, were travelling from Kuala Krai to Gua Musang when he lost control at a right-hand curve at 1 am, causing the Myvi to veer into the opposite lane and hit the oncoming trailer driven by a man, aged 45.
