In the 12.30pm incident yesterday, the victims were killed when their car skidded and collided with a trailer due to severe head and body injuries.

Police said they were travelling from Kuala Terengganu to Kuantan before their Toyota Camry crashed into the lorry laden with rice.

Initial investigations revealed the car had tried to avoid the parked trailer but had skidded and went under the trailer. The road was said to be slippery due to rain at the time of the incident.
