KLANG: A 13-year-old girl paid with her life when she sneaked out of her house with her father’s car for supper with four schoolmates early yesterday.
Tan Chia Ern died on the spot when the car driven by one of her friends smashed into a tree on the way home.
Chia Ern left her house in Jalan Seroja, Port Klang, at 2am to pick up her friends for a late meal in Bukit Tinggi 7km away.
When they were done at 4am, Chia Ern handed the car keys to Chong Ji Yin, 17, to drive them back. She rode in the front passenger seat.
Ji Yin lost control of the car at a sharp bend in Jalan Seraya, Taman Chi Liung, and drove into a tree by the roadside. The impact threw him and Chia Ern against the windscreen.
Chia Ern was pronounced dead on arrival at the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital while Ji Yin was warded with serious injuries.
The three in the back seat – sisters Fang Wai Kwan, 18, Yee Theng, 16, and Lee Kit Yi, 14 – received out-patient treatment at the hospital. Klang traffic police chief Asst Supt Junaidi Bujang said none of the five teenagers, who were students of SM Hin Hua, had a driving licence.
