Pinay maid escapes death in Malaysia car crash
A Filipina maid escaped death in a road accident that killed at least three people in Malaysia on the morning of March 24.
The Filipina, initially identified as Bacuyad Shanda, suffered a fractured hand in the incident, Malaysia's The Star Online reported.
Shanda was confined at the Parit Buntar Hospital, the report said.
Killed in the accident were her employer Teoh Yee Wei, 36; eldest son Heng Dy Hong, 5; and youngest daughter Sin Ye, 1.
The family had celebrated Sin Ye’s birthday only last March 6.
The three died of head injuries after they were thrown out of their multipurpose vehicle when it rammed a lorry on the North-South Expressway in Nibong Tebal at 6:30 a.m. last Monday.
On the other hand, Teoh's husband Heng Cheng Hang, 37, who was driving, and daughter Sin Le, 2, received outpatient treatment at the Parit Buntar Hospital for minor injuries.
"The family was heading to Kuala Lumpur when the incident happened. We believe the Toyota Vellfire was going uphill when the driver lost control and crashed into the back of the lorry," the report quoted Bandar Baharu acting OCPD Assistant Superintendent Azmi Abu Bakar as saying.
Meanwhile, he said lorry driver Tan Kim Liang, 56, was not injured.
For his part, Heng said he was angry that "no one stopped to help when I waved frantically at the passing vehicles.”
Heng said he was on his way back to Kuala Lumpur after visiting his father on Friday. — LBG, GMA News
