Her husband, 24-year-old lorry driver Mohammad Shuqur Ahmad, said the family was on their way from home to pick up a parked lorry in Kampung Acheh before having breakfast.
However, he saw what looked like an animal in the middle of the road and tried to avoid it.
Their car skidded and flipped over, rendering Mr Mohammad Shuqur unconscious.

Unfortunately, Nor Fadhilah was in severe condition.
“Honey, I’m sorry,” she repeatedly told her husband, which prompted him to comfort her, telling her that it was okay and to not dwell on the past.
He guided her to recite prayers before she went silent and succumbed to her injuries.
Their older son, who was also injured, was “crying and hugging” him at the time, Mr Mohammad Shuqur told The Star.

The boy is traumatised by the deaths of his mother and brother, he said.
Woman wanted to die with younger son
While Ms Nor Fadhilah’s apology might have been puzzling, her husband explained that before the accident, his wife had spoken a lot about forgiveness.
“My wife mentioned that if she ‘went’, she wanted to go with Iman,” he said.
“She also asked me to send her regards and apologies to my mother and her mother,” he told NST.
Perplexed by the request, he asked her what prompted her sentiment.
“I don’t know, maybe it’s meant to be,” she replied.
The deceased mother and son will be buried at the Felda Lui Selatan Muslim cemetery.
