00:00Crushed under a cargo container, Lizzy Roo summoned the last of her strength to call
00:07her mother on her handphone.
00:09Her mother, 42-year-old Lim, picked up the call and heard her daughter one last time.
00:14She called me and I heard her.
00:17I said, Mummy, it hurts.
00:20She shouted and I said, where are you?
00:24I knew something was wrong with her.
00:28She said she couldn't make a sound.
00:31I was waiting at the double-mind.
00:34I asked where she was.
00:37She said, Mummy, it hurts.
00:43Lim spoke about the final moments of her daughter's car crash in a video interview
00:48recorded by China Press at her daughter's wake on Thursday.

00:57at the Jalan Bukit Tengah traffic light junction in Bukit Mertajam on Wednesday.

01:07went out of control.
01:09Another car, which also hit by the container, was not as badly damaged.
01:13However, its driver, 25-year-old Tan Cho Teng, was seriously injured and rescued
01:19by passers-by and sent to the hospital.

01:26told her the location of the crash scene.
