KUALA LUMPUR: A British visitor, travelling to the city from Seremban with his Malaysian friend, was killed when their car crashed into a wall of the SMART Tunnel here. Thomas George Maccabee, 22, died from injuries at the scene of the 4.50am incident yesterday. Car driver Basheera Hayati Abdul Malik, 25, was rushed by rescuers to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where she is being treated for body and internal injuries. Met at the hospital, her father said Basheera Hayati had just graduated and was currently working as a tutor. “I do not know where she was headed nor the person she was with at the time of the accident. “At the moment, she is too traumatised to speak to us,” added the father, who declined to give his personal details. The case is being investigated as causing death by reckless or dangerous driving. City staff officer for traffic investigation and regulation Deputy Supt S. Markandan said the vehicle driven by Basheera Hayati was believed to have crashed into the wall of the tunnel after she lost control of it. “The strong impact killed the passenger (Maccabee) and caused internal injuries to the driver,” he said in a statement here yesterday. He added the cause of the crash was still under investigation. “We have informed the British High Commission of the incident," said DSP Markandan.

KUALA LUMPUR – Parti perpisahan buat seorang pemuda Britain bagi meraikan keberangkatannya pulang ke negara asalnya meninggalkan kenangan pahit buat rakan-rakannya apabila lelaki itu terbunuh dalam kemalangan di U29 Terowong Jalan Raya dan Pengurusan Air Banjir (SMART) di sini semalam. Dalam kejadian pada pukul 4.50 pagi itu, Thomas George Maccabee, 22, maut di tempat kejadian akibat cedera parah di kepala manakala rakan wanitanya, Basheera Hayati Abdul Malik, 25, mengalami kecederaan dalaman akibat hentakan kuat. Maccabee yang sedang menjalani latihan amali di Majlis Kanser Negara (Makna) di ibu negara sepatutnya berlepas pulang ke Nottingham, Britain semalam selepas beberapa bulan bekerja di Makna. Namun hajat Maccabee untuk bersatu semula dengan keluarganya tidak kesampaian apabila dia terbunuh dalam kemalangan sejurus selepas dia meninggalkan parti yang diadakan khas buatnya di sebuah restoran di Changkat Bukit Bintang di sini. Jarak lokasi kemalangan dengan restoran tempat Maccabee diraikan kira-kira empat kilometer. Ketua Trafik Kuala Lumpur, Asisten Komisioner Nadzri Hussain berkata, ketika tiba di lokasi kemalangan, kereta dipandu Basheera yang turut membawa Maccabee dipercayai dipandu laju hingga hilang kawalan lalu terbabas merempuh dinding terowong terbabit. “Rempuhan kuat itu mengakibatkan Maccabee yang berada di tempat duduk penumpang mati di tempat kejadian manakala Basheera yang memandu kereta mengalami kecederaan pada bahagian dalaman badan,” kata beliau ketika dihubungi di sini semalam.
