A 42-year-old businesswoman has flown down from Beijing to seek justice for her husband who was killed in a road accident on the Jalan Syed Abdul Aziz coastal highway in Malaysia’s Melaka state last Friday.
Wang Wei said she was saddened by the whole episode as her husband and 12-year-old son were blissfully holidaying here before the unfortunate incident happened.
James Ee Kah Fuk, Wang’s Kuala Lumpur-based lawyer, said the woman arrived in the Malaysian capital on Sunday night to claim her husband’s body and handle other matters relating to the incident.
“She was also distraught about losing her husband who she described as a loving and humble person.
“We have also met police officers from the Melaka Tengah police headquarters to assist the investigation,” he said on Tuesday.
Ee said Wang did not follow her husband and son on the holiday trip as she was busy with her business back in China.
Her husband Lyu Yong Qian, also from Beijing, was killed on the spot while crossing the road at 9.40pm on August 9.
The deceased was with his son Lyu Junda and both father and son were crossing the road while on their way to their hotel from a shopping complex in Melaka.
The boy, who sustained injuries in the incident, has since returned to China after he was discharged from the hospital.
On August 10, Melaka Tengah Assistant Commissioner Christopher Patit said the car which hit Yong Qian was driven by a 55-year-old man from Taman Bukit Cheng in Melaka.
He said the driver of the car told investigation officers that he was on his way to deliver food to a friend and was unable to see the two crossing the road.
The victim arrived in Singapore on August 5 and spent two nights in Port Dickson before visiting Melaka on August 9 for one night before returning to Singapore on August 10.
Police are probing the incident under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
