Why did the 4WD skid off the road in Gua Musang?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 4WD vehicle skidded off the road due to loss of control after encountering a flooded section caused by heavy rain.

The incident occurred around 2:30 PM on the Gua Musang-Lojing road at Kilometre 80. The pickup truck, travelling from Blue Valley towards Gua Musang, was being driven by a 26-year-old man. It is believed that the driver lost control of the vehicle after passing a stretch of road that was inundated with water due to heavy rainfall.
Encountering Road Inundation

The four-wheel drive vehicle was travelling along the Gua Musang-Lojing road when it approached a section that had become submerged. This inundation was a direct consequence of heavy rain in the area. The vehicle's trajectory was from Blue Valley heading towards Gua Musang.
Loss of Vehicle Control

Following the encounter with the flooded roadway, the driver reportedly lost control of the pickup truck. This loss of control led to the vehicle veering off the road's embankment. The vehicle subsequently plunged into a nearby river.
Fatal Outcome for Passenger

While the driver and another passenger managed to escape the sinking vehicle by jumping out, a front-seat passenger was trapped inside. The trapped passenger was unable to exit the vehicle in time and was subsequently confirmed to have drowned at the scene. The victim's body was transported to the Gua Musang Hospital for further examination.
