Rescuers from Penang’s Fire and Rescue Department at the scene of the incident where a duo from China were crushed to death in a car.
The duo’s driver, a local woman who wanted to be named only as Ms Har, 52, sustained bruises due to the incident. The car waits for about 40 seconds before leaving the parking spot, as another car is driving into the compound through the single-lane gate. “We were about to leave and find somewhere to eat. But there was an incoming car, so I waited,” said Ms Har.
“We believe the incident could have been due to the heavy rain and strong winds, which have hit Penang in recent days,” he added, according to a report by Malaysian news outlet New Straits Times.
