WASHINGTON, April 27 — A man accused of targeting US administration officials at a Washington event has been arrested after allegedly opening fire, injuring a Secret Service agent.
KUALA LUMPUR, June 14 — The body of a pedestrian who was struck by a car and swept into a river along Jalan Ipoh has been recovered.
According to Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa, the body was found approximately 150 metres from the crash site this morning, New Straits Times reported.
“The body has been sent to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a post-mortem,” he said, noting that the victim’s identity has not yet been confirmed.
The case has now been reclassified under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.
The incident occurred around 11.45am yesterday when a Nissan Sylphy, driven by a 39-year-old Bangladeshi man, lost control near the Kepong roundabout while heading from the Batu Muda People’s Housing Project. The car struck the pedestrian before plunging under a bridge and becoming wedged between concrete and iron pipes.
The vehicle also collided with the front right side of a Toyota Camry driven by a 43-year-old Vietnamese woman coming from the direction of Batu Kentomen.
A coordinated search and recovery operation was carried out by Kuala Lumpur City Hall, the police, Fire and Rescue Department, and the Civil Defence Force.
