KUANTAN, May 17 (Bernama) — Four fifth formers of Sekolah Menengah Agama Tengku Ampuan Fatimah, Pekan, escaped a fiery end when the van they were travelling in caught fire at Km 48.3 of the Karak Expressway this evening.
Bentong District Police chief Supt Mohammad Mansor Mohammad Nor said the students – Abdul Helmi Mohd Hanafiah, Mohd Mujid Mohd Noor, Abd Rahman Sazlan and Mohd Hafif Nor Hamizi, were on their way to participate in the Arabic Festival at Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur.
“The mishap occurred at 5.10 pm and the van driver was the first to spot the smoke emanating from under the front tyre of the Kia Pregio van.
“The driver and the students escaped unhurt and had continued their journey in another vehicle,” he told Bernama when contacted.
