A horrific accident on a highway in Malaysia tragically claimed the life of a young woman last Saturday (2 Sep).
She was driving home alone when her car slammed into the back of a lorry, which was parked illegally at the side of a narrow road.
Shocking photos of the aftermath show the front of the woman’s vehicle in a crumpled mess.

The moment of the collision was also caught on the woman’s car dashcam.
Her family plans to use the footage as evidence to take legal action against the lorry driver or their company.
According to China Press, the accident occurred at around 7.30am on the North-South Expressway towards Melaka.
The victim, 29-year-old Zhu Lishan (transliterated from Mandarin), was driving home by herself after dropping off her boyfriend at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
Along the way, she apparently decided to head to a rest stop.

The blue one in front appears to be protruding out more.
With her view of it blocked by the red truck behind, Ms Zhu is unable to dodge in time, and her car rams right into the rear, killing her on the spot.

She also called out the drivers for parking irresponsibly, resulting in the death of her best friend.
“This sort of accident could have been avoided,” the OP wrote. “I hope the company that owns these two trucks will come forward and confess so that the deceased may rest in peace.”
Ms Zhu’s older sister, Zhu Limin (transliterated from Mandarin), told China Press that the family will take legal action against the lorry driver or their company.
They intend to use the dashcam recording as evidence to seek justice for Ms Zhu.
Sharing more about her late sister, Ms Zhu Limin revealed that the deceased had been running the family pet store business with their father since graduation.
Ms Zhu’s Chinese boyfriend has been informed of the sad news and will fly in from Shanghai to say his farewell.
