BUKIT MERAH – Hasrat sebuah keluarga meraikan kejayaan salah ahli keluarganya yang berjaya melanjutkan pengajian ke Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) bertukar tragedi selepas kenderaan yang dinaiki mereka terlibat dalam kemalangan.

Kemalangan itu menyebabkan tiga maut manakala lapan lagi penumpang cedera apabila van persiaran yang dinaiki keluarga berkenaan terbabas di kilometer 186.6 Lebuh Raya Utara Selatan dekat Bukit Merah sekitar jam 5.40 pagi semalam.

Ketua Polis Daerah Kerian, Superintendan Mat Fauzi Nayan berkata, pihaknya mengesahkan kejadian yang melibatkan sebuah van persiaran dari Muar, Johor menuju ke Kedah untuk menghantar anggota keluarga mereka iaitu Nur Syuhaila Mohd Jamil, 19, yang akan mendaftar di hari pertama kemasukan UUM sebelum melanggar tembok berhampiran dan terjunam ke dalam parit.

Menurutnya, tiga mangsa yang maut di tempat kejadian ialah pemandu van, Chua Wee Chaur, 33, ibu Nur Syuhaila, Tukijah Esa, 59, dan kakaknya Norruhanizah Mohd Jamil, 34.

Sementara itu, tiga lagi mangsa mengalami kecederaan kritikal dan dihantar ke hospital Taiping ialah bapa kepada Nur Syuhaila iaitu Mohd Jamil @ Mohd Yammi Anuar, 68; abang Syuhaila, Mohd Nazir Mohd Jamil, 29, serta seorang bayi Alia Madiwa berusia 7 bulan setengah yang juga anak kepada Norruhanizah.

“Selain itu lima lagi mangsa yang cedera ringan dirawat di Hospital Parit Buntar termasuk Nur Syuhaila iaitu anak bongsu kepada Mohd Jamil.

“Mangsa yang lain ialah abangnya, Muhammad Faiduz, 27, patah kaki kanan termasuk dua abang iparnya Khairul Khafiza Isnin, 29, dan Mustafa Kamal Md Khairul, 38, serta kakak ipar, Liana Mat, 31,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan kepada media, semalam.

Mat Fauzi berkata, ketika kejadian, van persiaran itu membawa 10 ahli keluarga untuk menghantar Nur Syuhaila yang bakal mendaftar masuk di UUM pada hari pertama.

“Namun hajat itu tidak kesampaian apabila pemandu van gagal mengawal kenderaan sebelum terbabas dan terjunam dalam parit di kawasan Bukit Merah awal pagi tadi (semalam),” katanya.
