In a recent tragic story making headlines, 4 students from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Dungun were involved in a horrific car accident that claimed the lives of 3 of them, while one is receiving further treatment at Dungun Hospital.

According to Bernama, Terengganu deputy police chief Datuk Wan Rukman Wan Hassan mentioned that the incident was believed to have occurred when the 4 victims were returning to campus after having dinner.

“The woman is believed to be mentally ill”

The accident happened when a woman driving her SUV at high speed crashed into 4 students from behind, causing one of the motorcycles to be dragged about 60 meters after the impact.

In a recent update, Wan Rukman stated that preliminary investigations indicated the suspect, who is believed to be mentally ill, and the victims were travelling from Kuala Dungun to Teluk Gadung.
