In the quiet before dawn on a Saturday in Kuala Lumpur, three lives were altered irrevocably on a stretch of expressway that thousands travel without a second thought. A car skidded near the Jalan Kuching exit ramp of the Duta-Ulu Kelang Expressway, caught fire, and trapped its occupants inside — two of whom did not survive. The third was pulled from the wreckage alive, a reminder that fate, in its most arbitrary moments, does not distribute its weight evenly. Investigators now work to answer the question that always follows such moments: not only what happened, but why.
