three-car collision
By FARHAAN SHAH and AUSTIN CAMOENS

JOHOR BARU: A businesswoman was killed in a three-car collision on the North-South

Expressway that left her Mercedes-Benz ablaze.

Passers-by pulled out two passengers from the burning car but were unable to save Hazizah
Hayun, 37.

The drivers of the other two cars and four passengers in the three vehicles escaped with
minor injuries.

Mangled and charred: The

wreckage of the Mercedes-Benz belonging to accident victim Hazizah (inset) lying at the Kulai police
headquarters.
Hazizah, who was driving the Mercedes-Benz, is believed to have hit the road divider at the
25th kilometre of the expressway near Kulai at around 1.15am.

The vehicle spun several times and was hit by a Toyota Hilux.

A Nissan Sentra subsequently hit the Toyota, which had turned turtle.

One of the injured, Habibah A. Jaabar, 53, said she was with her daughter Ruhaidah Yusof,
26, in Hazizah’s car. She was jolted awake from sleep when the Mercedes-Benz hit the
divider but fainted when the Toyota hit their car.
Passers-by helped to pull Habibah and Ruhaidah out but were unable to rescue Hazizah as
the door on her side was jammed.

When met at the Kulai hospital mortuary, Hazizah’s distraught husband Azman Sidek, 48,
said his wife was returning from her weekly trip to Kuala Lumpur to collect material for her
boutique.

“I had told her there was no need to go as we already had plenty of stock in our shop in
Plaza Angsana,” he said.

But the mother-of-three was adamant on going.

Azman said he had stayed up waiting for her to return as he had become worried when she
did not answer his phone calls. One of Hazizah’s employees called to inform him of the
accident at about 3.30am.

Habibah’s husband, Yusof Sarijan, 60, said his wife had been admitted to a private hospital
in Johor Baru with a dislocated elbow while his daughter sustained bruises and minor burns
on her back.

Kulai OCPD Supt Zulkefly Yahya said the other two drivers and four passengers received
outpatient treatment at the Kulai hospital.

polytechnic when the incident happened.

to get tickets to return home for Hari Raya,” he said, adding that the four were good friends
and lived in the same house.

When met at the mortuary, Mohd Hairul’s father Abd Hamid Mohd Isa, 55, said his son had
called him on Sunday.

“He asked me for an additional RM60 for the bus ticket home for Hari Raya. I never knew
that would be my last conversation with him,” said Abd Hamid.

Polytechnic director Mohd Kharir Mohd Ibrahim said all four were bright students.

“We are saddened by the deaths (of the students). It is a great loss to the polytechnic,” he
said.

Friends met at the mortuary said the four were inseparable.
