KUALA SELANGOR: Muhammad Safiq Hasan Adli, 22, had rang his elder brother to ask him out for breakfast. He had also called up his mother and younger sibling to ask how they were doing.
Amyrul Asraf, his elder brother, had declined without knowing that it would be the last time the two would ever speak again.
Half an hour after the brief conversation, the car carrying Safiq and his two friends ploughed head first into a lorry along Jalan Teluk Intan-Klang, Sungai Terap.
All three were killed instantly.
Safiq had accompanied two of their relatives from the same village, Mohd Mohyudin Mohd Subari, 50, and 37-year-old Ahmad Mustakim Mohd Ngail to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 11pm yesterday.
They were there to bid goodbye to a relative who was leaving for overseas.
"Thirty minutes before the accident, Safiq called me, saying that he was already in Kapar, Klang and asked me to go 'Medang' (to eat at a shop in Javanese language). But I declined because I had errands to run.
"An hour later, I got news from another sibling at home saying that Safiq had died in an accident," said the 25-year-old Amyrul, adding that they lived together in Ijok and worked in the same company based in Sungai Buloh.
Amyrul said he last saw Safiq at a family gathering on May 1. Then, Safiq had voiced his interest in helping their mother make banana chips at their home in Kampung Sungai Tengar.
"When I asked him when would he go back to Ijok, he said he wanted to go home to Kampung Sungai Tengar instead. I took it as a joke, not knowing that that it was a premonition that he would leave us forever," he said when met at the Tanjong Karang Hospital.
Safiq was believed to have lost control of the car and veered into the opposite lane where it collided with a lorry from its way to Klang from Teluk Intan.
They three were pinned to their seats as the car had gone underneath the lorry. They were already dead when a team of 22 firemen from the Tanjong Karang Fire and Rescue Department arrived at the scene.
Kuala Selangor OCPD Supt Ruslan Abdullah said the lorry driver has been detained at the police station.
Both vehicles have been brought to the station for investigations under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.
