KUALA KANGSAR: The trailer driver who was arrested in connection with a fiery accident, killing five students on the North-South Expressway northbound late Wednesday (May 11) has nine offences in Road Transport Department (JPJ) records with eight 'settled' and another still active. JPJ in a statement Friday (May 13) said the results of a check in its mySikap system found that the offences and 12 demerit points under the Demerit Points System For Traffic Offences (Kejara) could lead to suspension or revocation of a driving licence. The statement also said JPJ viewed the incident seriously and would not compromise on any non-compliance by commercial vehicle operators. At the same time, the students in a car were behind the trailer, while another trailer carrying iron railings in the same direction behind the car could not brake in time and crashed into the back of the car. The trailer then propelled the car forward until it crashed into the back of the mosaic-loaded trailer (before the car burst into flames).
