NILAI: A man was killed in an accident when the motorcycle he was riding rammed the rear of a car that had stopped in the emergency lane at Kilometre 285 of the North-South Expressway (PLUS) heading north on Thursday.
Nilai police chief Supt Abdul Malik Hasim said the 37-year-old victim was pronounced dead by medical personnel at the scene due to severe injuries to the head and several other parts of his body.
He said the accident involved a Proton Persona car, driven by a 37-year-old man, which had suffered a punctured left rear tyre.
"The driver had pulled over to the emergency lane to conduct an inspection. However, just a few minutes later, a Honda Vario motorcycle ridden by the victim failed to avoid the car and crashed into its rear," he said in a statement on Thursday (Oct 17).
Supt Abdul Malik said the case is being investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving causing death. - Bernama
