Cops resubmit investigation paper on girl who drove against traffic

BUTTERWORTH: Police have resubmitted the investigation paper (IP) to the public prosecutor in a case where a 19-year-old drove against traffic which resulted in an accident which claimed the life of a man.
Central Seberang Prai district police chief ACP Nik Ros Azhan Nik Hamid said the IP was sent this afternoon.
He said the Attorney-General's Chambers had requested the police to do so as public prosecutors wanted to study the case properly.
Nik Ros declined to say if the youth would be charged with murder under the Penal Code or for driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs under the Road Transport Act 1957.
"We are waiting for the order from the deputy public prosecutor for further action," he said when contacted.
In the March 14 incident, Ng Pei Ven allegedly made a U-turn at Km128 of the North South Expressway (NSE) when she claimed she saw a stalled lorry about 7.50am.
The U-turn resulted in her going against traffic flow and grazed against three vehicles but continued driving.
She continued to drive for some 5km against traffic before crashing into the car driven by Mohamad Fandi Rosli, 26, at Km134 of the NSE killing him on the spot.
She claimed trial to a charge of taking amphetamines under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 at the Bukit Mertajam magistrate's court on March 17.
