    A lorry driver has been charged with reckless driving in Malaysia after crashing into 14 vehicles, killing two motorcyclists. Muhammad Izzatul Shafik Mozahari, 29, pleaded not guilty when the charge was read to him in the Magistrate’s Court in Putrajaya. The incident occurred on September 20 at KM5.8 Jalan Persiaran Utara, resulting in the death of Faris Haziq Abu Bakar, 25, and Yuswar Mohd Uyus, 39. This charge falls under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and carries penalties of five to 10 years in jail and a fine up to RM50,000. The accused was not represented in court and bail was set at RM5,000 in one surety. The accused must report to the police station once a month until the case is resolved. The case will be mentioned again on October 25 for the submission of documents.

    On September 20, the lorry, carrying sand, crashed into multiple vehicles that were stopped for the training convoy of the Le Tour de Langkawi (LTDL). The accident resulted in the deaths of a Pos Malaysia staff member and an Ampang Court employee. In addition, seven others were injured.
