Man and son die in Ferrari crash horror
TAPAH, PERAK, MALAYSIA: He had bought a reconditioned red Ferrari F355 four months ago and yesterday drove it to Sungkai on one of his balik kampung trips.
But tragedy struck when Major (Rtd) Mohd Ali Hanafiah Ariffin’s car crashed into an oil palm tree and burst into flames at 3.15pm at the 73rd kilometre of the Federal Route 1 (Bidor-Sungkai Road) in Bidor.
Mohd Ali, 43, managed to get out of the burning car but not his brother-in-law Ahmad Fozee Abdullah, 46, and his (Ahmad Fozee’s) three-year-old son Mohd Amin, both of whom were in the front passenger seat.
Mohd Ali’s foster brother, Zaime Elias, said Mohd Ali had returned to his kampung here from Shah Alam in Selangor and they were supposed to have met here.
Mohd Ali called later to cancel the meeting saying that he was going for a ride in the car with Ahmad Fozee.
He was driving to his family home at nearby Taman Syarikat when the accident occurred.
Mohd Ali’s cousin Mohd Shafek Abdul Jalil, who went to the crash site after being informed, said the bodies of Ahmad Fozee and his son were flattened and burnt beyond recognition.
“The boy was sitting with his father in the front passenger seat,” he said.
Ahmad Fozee’s wife Fauziah Ariffin, 40, claimed the bodies and brought them back to their home in Taman Arkid in Sungai Petani.
Firemen took about two hours to extricate the charred remains of the father and son from the wreckage.
“Investigations found that Mohd Ali had lost control of the Ferrari and crashed into the tree.
“The car burst into flames shortly after the accident,” Batang Padang Deputy OCPD Deputy Supt Osman Muhammad Subot said.
Mohd Ali, a businessman based in Sungai Petani, Kedah, is undergoing treatment at Subang Jaya Medical Centre in Petaling Jaya.
