00:00Three men returning from a fishing trip died after their four-wheel drive vehicle plunged
00:07into a ditch in a plantation area in Kota Tinggi.
00:10Kota Tinggi OCPD Superintendent Yusof Othman said the victims were travelling with two
00:16friends in a separate vehicle when their car skidded and became stuck in the mud near a
00:22ditch.
00:23The friends attempted to tow the stranded vehicle but during the process it slid into
00:27the ditch and was submerged in water with strong currents.
00:31Superintendent Yusof explained that the friends tried to rescue the victims by breaking the
00:36vehicle's front left window, managing to pull one unconscious man out.
00:41However, they could not save the other two trapped inside the water-filled car.
00:46The two friends sought help from a plantation worker and contacted the Kota Tinggi Fire
00:51and Rescue Department.
00:53The department later recovered the bodies of the remaining two victims.
00:57Local officers confirmed that the rescued man had also died.
01:02Superintendent Yusof clarified that the incident was not flood-related but occurred due to
01:07the vehicle plunging into the ditch.
