“We urge anyone who witnessed the incident, or has information about the crash to contact the police,” he said on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Selangor Fire and Rescue Department assistant director of operations Mohd Sani Harul said that the victims were pinned to their seats and suffered serious head and body injuries from the crash.

He said that a team of seven firemen from the Andalas fire station were rushed to the scene after a distress call came in at 4.29pm Friday.

The victims have been identified as Mohd Anuar Hussin, 41, from Kuala Krai in Kelantan and Hoe Koon Long, 57, from Seri Kembangan in Selangor.
