TEMERLOH: A pistol and pump gun along with some 100 different ammunition were recovered from an accident scene where there were two fatalities.
The 8.30pm accident at Km132 of the East Coast Expressway (LPT1) near here last night involved four vehicles.
Victims Low Kim Boon, 65, and Nur Rashila Rosdan, 22, died on the spot after they were thrown out of their respective vehicles.
Policemen found a Smith & Wesson pistol, a pump gun with two bullets, Rimba 12 Bore bullets, Mega 12 Bore bullets, Buck Shot 12 Bore and two boxes containing 9mm Br.c S&B bullets.
Police are still determining the owner of the firearms and ammunition.
Pahang Traffic Investigations and Enforcement Department head Superintendent Kamarulzaman Jusoh said investigations revealed Nur Rashila, who was driving a Perodua Myvi on the fast lane, was headed towards Temerloh, when it crashed into a lorry on the slow lane.
He said the Myvi then rear-ended a Toyota FJ Cruiser, which Low was driving. The impact sent the Toyota into the opposite lane before it crashed into a ravine.
“A Proton Iswara then crashed into the Myvi. Witnesses claimed that Nur Rashila, who works as a draughtsman, had lost control of her vehicle which led to the accident,” he said in a statement today.
He said lorry driver Che Sharif Saad, 43, and the Proton Iswara driver Sheikh Mohd Haniff Sheikh Hashim, 61, escaped unhurt.
It is understood that Low is a businessman from Kuantan and he was travelling to Kuala Lumpur.
Kamarulzaman said the victims were taken to the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah hospital here and the case was investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
