IPOH: The accident at the Jelapang Toll Plaza here has claimed its eighth victim, nine-year-old Nur Aliya Syahirah Muhamad.

She passed away at the Ipoh Hospital at 8.10am Wednesday, a victim of the 4.09am incident on Tuesday when the tour bus she was in crashed into the back of a latex tanker.

She is the third person in her family to perish.

Her father Muhamad Husain, 50, and 15-year-old sister Nur Syuhadah died shortly after the collision.

Her mother Zurina Nayan, who is Kubang Jawi Wanita Umno branch chief, and another sister Nur Hashimah, 18, remain hospitalised.

Her family was part of an entourage of 35 Wanita Umno members, mostly from Kampung Kubang Jawi in Kuala Kedah, who were on their way to Cameron Highlands.
