The deceased are driver Sabber Hasan, 30, and two passengers- Jahid Hasan, 21, and Abdullah, 24.
Acting Kuantan Police Chief Adli Mat Daud said that, according to an initial investigation, they were travelling from Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur and the driver was believed to have lost control of the vehicle, causing it to skid to the left side of the road.
