Newly married couple killed in car crash

GEORGE TOWN: A teenage couple, married in January this year, were killed in an accident at Km2.2 of the Penang Bridge here on Sunday.

Car accessories salesman Teh Boh Yi, 19, and shop assistant Khor Lee Mui, 17, died of head injuries while their three friends, who were travelling with them in the car, have been warded at Penang Hospital.

One of the friends, contract worker Lee Choo Hoe, 17, was thrown out of the car and landed in the sea. Marine police rescued him two hours later.

Police said Teh, the driver of the Nissan Livina, tried to switch lanes when he lost control of the car which hit the railings at 11.30pm.

The car then swerved to the middle of the road and a lorry loaded with vegetables rammed into it from behind, Penang Traffic Operations chief Deputy Supt Abdul Rahim bin Md. Din said.

Lee said he could not remember what happened. "I was unconscious when I was thrown out of the car and woke up to find myself in the sea. I managed to cling onto the bridge pylon underneath,” he said.

The other injured are Chiam Chee Wei, 17, and Teh Bee Bee, 20.

Chiam is in the intensive care unit while Bee Bee suffered a broken right leg.
