Four Singaporeans were driving up to Genting Highlands in Malaysia when their white Toyota Estima collided with a Malaysia-registered white Mitsubishi Lancer, according to The Star.
Incident happened on May 5 morning
The incident happened on the North-South Expressway from Johor towards Melaka at around 6:30am on May 5.
The Star reported Alor Gajah district police chief Arshad Abu saying that both cars were travelling in the same direction when one suddenly swerved into the next lane and collided with the other.
