JOHOR BARU – A family of four was killed, one was injured, while another two survived in a crash involving four vehicles at KM70.4 of the North-South Expressway southbound near the Machap toll exit, near Simpang Renggam, early this morning.

Kluang district police chief Bahrin Mohd Noh said the 7am incident involved a Perodua Myvi, a Toyota Hiace, a Volvo trailer, and a Toyota Corolla, which were believed to be coming from the same direction, from Kuala Lumpur towards Johor Baru.

He said the dead were the Toyota Corolla driver Goh Tiong Seng in his 50s; his wife, Hong May Yin, also in her 50s; and their two children, daughter Goh Pei Chiew and son Goh Xuan Ting, both in their 20s.
