SEREMBAN: A 17-year-old male teenager died when his motorcycle collided with a car at KM 8, Jalan Bahau-Kemayan, in Jempol, on Sunday morning.
Jempol police chief, Supt Hoo Chang Hook, said that the 2.30am incident involved a motorcycle, ridden by the unemployed victim, and a car.
The car, driven by a 30-year-old man with a 16-year-old male passenger, was travelling from Mahsan to Felda Raja Alias 2 when the collision occurred.
"Upon reaching the scene, while driving uphill, the motorcycle ridden by the victim lost control, and veered into the opposite lane, resulting in a head-on collision with a car.
"The motorcyclist suffered severe head and leg injuries, and was pronounced dead at the scene following the accident,” he said, in a statement, on Sunday (Jan 19).
The driver of the car suffered minor injuries to his face and hands, while the passenger escaped unhurt.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, Nilai police chief, Supt Abdul Malik Hasim, said that a 35-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene following a car accident involving a trailer. The accident occurred at 4.20am on Sunday, at KM 282.9 of the North-South Expressway, southbound, heading toward Melaka.
Supt Abdul Malik said that initial investigations revealed that the trailer, driven by a 34-year-old man from Port Klang, and heading toward Melaka without cargo, had broken down and stopped in the far-left lane.
"A 40-year-old man driving a car collided in the rear-right side of the trailer at the location. The driver sustained severe head injuries in the accident.
