Three Singaporean women died in Johor, Malaysia, after the multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) they were travelling in crashed into a lorry on Monday, Aug. 28, just before 2pm.
The location of the accident, Ladang Cenas, Bandar Tenggara, is about an hour's drive from Singapore.
Malay Mail reported that the vehicle’s three Singaporean passengers — Toh Poh Kian, 56, Soon Moh Tan and Wong Lan Yew, both 61 — were declared dead at the scene.
Two men, the 59-year-old driver of the MPV, Ong Cheow Lam, who is also a Singaporean, and the 49-year-old driver of the lorry, escaped unharmed.
Photos showed the car completely wrecked and the lorry on its side.
Bandar Tenggara fire station operations commander Senior Fire Officer II Mohd Norul Fazudin Shafie said firemen were immediately dispatched to the scene after receiving a report.
