Help these Mat Basikals get back on track


IT was a tragic morning last Saturday when eight teenage cyclists were killed and eight others were badly injured after a car ploughed into them along Jalan Lingkaran Dalam in Johor Baru at 3.30am.

Soon after the horrific accident, the blame game started. There was speculation that the woman driver was using her mobile phone, which the police have denied, when the car struck the cyclists. Others faul­ted the youngsters, who were apparently there to race and show off their modified bicycles.
