A 7-year-old Singaporean boy died in Johor after he was flung out of the car he was in, following a collision with a lorry. The lorry driver later tested positive for methamphetamine and did not have a valid licence, according to the Johor police. The accident occurred at around 10.30pm on Sunday (March 16), said Johor Baru (South) police chief Assistant Commissioner Raub Selamat on Monday (March 17). The lorry and the Singapore-registered car collided in Jalan Pantai heading towards Permas Jaya, the police chief added. Preliminary investigations showed that the lorry driver, 54, lost control of his vehicle before it veered into the opposite lane and collided head-on with a car coming from the opposite direction. According to Raub, the boy was one of four passengers being driven by his father, who is in his 40s. The boy was taken to a private hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at around 3am on Monday. Read more
