It is understood the Ford is registered to a tour and travel company.
Indonesian national Mustofa, 44, and his local wife Nur Shilla Abdullah, 37, died at the scene after the Ford collided with their Yamaha 135LC motorcycle at 3.20pm Friday.
Both died from severe head injuries.
The four-wheel drive, carrying the driver and a male passenger, was travelling from Ranau towards Kota Kinabalu when it attempted to overtake several vehicles.
It collided head-on with the motorcycle travelling in the opposite direction, throwing the couple into a ravine.
Dashcam footage circulating on social media showed the blue Ford overtaking multiple vehicles at high speed. The vehicle remained in the oncoming lane through a bend before colliding with the motorcycle.
The husband and wife were returning home to Kampung Bongol, Tamparuli, after buying school supplies for their children.
They leave behind three children aged seven, 13 and 17.
