The accident occurred at Jalan Kota Bharu-Gua Musang near here at about 7am.
Kuala Krai police chief Mazlan Mamat said the accident occurred when the car driven by the victim’s husband failed to avoid the cow’s carcass lying across the road before skidding into the opposite lane and overturning on the road shoulder.
“The victim who was in the front passenger side died at the scene of the incident after being trapped in the car and was extricated by the Kuala Krai fire and rescue department.
“Meanwhile, the car driver, the victim’s husband, sustained injuries to the chest.
“The victim’s daughter, who was in the rear passenger side, suffered leg injuries,” he said in a statement today.
“All the victims were taken to the Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital here.”
Mazlan said this spot was among eight fatal accident-prone locations identified in Kuala Krai. Signboards have been erected to alert motorists of this and to notify them of the speed limit, he added.
Meanwhile, Shamsuri Mat, the younger brother of the victim, when contacted, said his sister Norma Mat, at the time of the accident, was travelling with her husband, Wan Rosli Wan Harun, 61, to send their daughter, Wan Kasma Ayuni, 19, to the International Islamic University Malaysia in Gombak after the semester break.
He said his sister’s remains will be buried today near Kampung But, Ketereh, Kota Bharu.
