A lorry driver today pleaded not guilty in the Parit Magistrate’s Court to driving recklessly, which led to the death of three family members in an accident last week. The accused made the plea after the charge was read to him before Magistrate Mohd Fitri Sadarudin. 25-year-old Syakirul Nazif Amrah was accused of committing the offence at Jalan Bota Kanan-Teluk Intan on December 13. The three victims were 35-year-old Ahmad Nor Al-Zaidin Ahmad Azzudin, his wife Nor Haslina Abdul Razak, aged 27, and his sister Nor Azira Ahmad Azzudin, aged 24. The accused was charged under the Road Transport Act and if convicted, faces a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine not exceeding RM20,000. The magistrate set bail at RM5,000 in one surety and for Syakirul Nazif's driving licence to be surrendered to the court until the case is disposed of. On December 13, it was reported that the three victims who were travelling in a Proton Saga, died on the spot after a collision with a lorry coming from the opposite direction before the car landed in a canal nearby. Ahmad Nor Al-Zaidin, who was special officer to state executive councillor, Datuk Zainol Fadzi Paharudin, and his wife, leave a four-year-old daughter. The court fixed January 17 for next mention of the case.
