Officials are going to do an autopsy to find out why the person died. Supt. Kamarul said that the case is being looked into under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act, which is about driving carelessly.
This terrible accident shows how dangerous it is to drive carelessly and how important it is to follow traffic rules. As the case goes on, it is hoped that this will teach drivers that safety is more important than trying to get a thrill on the roads.
