GENEVA, June 13 — Switzerland has offered to host the potential signing of a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, the Swiss foreign ministry told AFP on Friday.
IPOH, June 11 — A driver was found dead after the vehicle he was travelling in caught fire following a crash involving a sport utility vehicle (SUV) and a trailer lorry along Jalan Batu 9, Kampung Semangat, Segari, near Pantai Remis early this morning.
Perak Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Sabarodzi Nor Ahmad said the department received an emergency call at 4.36am, prompting firefighters from the Pantai Remis Fire and Rescue Station to be dispatched to the scene.
“Upon arrival at 4.52am, firefighters found a Toyota Innova engulfed in flames, with about 90 per cent of the vehicle destroyed after it was believed to have collided with a Nissan trailer lorry,” he said in a statement today.
He added that once the fire was put out, rescue personnel discovered a victim trapped inside the vehicle. The victim’s identity and gender have yet to be confirmed.
Sabarodzi said the 60-year-old trailer driver sustained minor injuries and received initial treatment at the scene before being taken to hospital for further care.
He said firefighting efforts were carried out using a hose reel supplied by the fire engine’s water tank until the blaze was fully extinguished.
“Firefighters also used specialised cutting equipment to recover the victim’s body, which was then handed over to police for further action. The team also conducted clean-up operations to remove debris and clear an oil spill caused by the crash,” he said.
He added that the operation was brought under control at 5.30am and fully concluded at 6.48am. — Bernama
