JASIN: When her husband failed to come home by 5am, Siti Salwa Abdul Wahid, checked the `Find My Iphone' application to locate him.
She felt something bad had happened when the app showed that her husband's phone was stationary and frantically called him only to have a policeman answered the call.
"The policeman told me that my husband was involved in an accident and I was asked to go to the Jasin Hospital.
"In my mind, I thought his condition was critical. When I saw the severely-damaged car at the police station, something inside me said he was gone.
"I tried to stay calm... and then I was told that he died on arrival at the hospital," the 33-year-old said when met at the Jasin Hospital forensics unit.
Her husband Badrul Shyam Noor Ibrahim, 31, and his friend Ezham Hazim Ahyat, 33 succumbed to their injuries following a crash at Lebuh Alor Gajah-Melaka Tengah-Jasin Serkam traffic light junction today.
Badrul Shyam and Ezham Hazim, both insurance agents, were killed when the car they were in hit a lorry at the junction.
Siti Salwa said the last time she contacted her husband was via text messages about midnight.
"Before he left to Melaka for work on Wednesday night, he hugged me and told me that he will miss me."
She said they had made plans to go for a holiday with their 4-year-old son in Melaka for their anniversary and to Pulau Tioman in March.
Acting district police chief Assistant Superintendent Mohd Fadzli Othman said the lorry, driven by a 42-year-old man, was from Serkam heading to Jasin and the car was from Melaka heading to Muar, Johor.
"Initial investigations showed that when the traffic light turned green, the lorry driver drove on to Jasin. As it passed the junction, the car clipped the left side of heavy vehicle and turned turtle in the middle of the road."
