Knowledge student dies in freak accident

Abdullah Haji Weli Bakar died in a freak crash when his car broke loose from an AA tow van. A licensed private hire operator who was studying the KoL had called the AA to his vehicle.

The AA was unable to fix the problem with the clutch at the roadside and so had attached the Vauxhall Zafira to a fixed rigid tow bar. Mr Bakar was steering the car when it veered into a verge, where it detached from the recovery van and collided with an oncoming car. The accident took place in Combe Lane, Croydon, on 1st October 2013.
