SEREMBAN: Muhammad Aidil Ramdan Abdullah, 15, had promised his grandmother that he would deliver dinner to her. But he never arrived.
Tragically, the motorcyclist along with his 16-year-old pillion rider friend, Muhammad Aswari Lotpi, were killed on the spot in an accident along Jalan Persiaran Senawang 1 at Matahari Heights here on Thursday.
A car driven by another teenager is believed to have run a red light at a junction and crashed into their motorcycle in the 8.30pm incident.
Muhammad Aidil’s brother, Muhammad Asraf Adha Abdullah, 13, who was riding pillion on another bike, which also crashed into the car, is fighting for his life at Hospital Tuanku Jaafar (HTJ).
Their aunt Rosaliah Diego, 26, said Muhammad Aidil had prior to the incident sent a message via WhatsApp to his grandmother Rahimah Julieto, 50, that he would buy her food in Senawang and send it to her house in Sikamat, near here.
“She waited until 9pm but they never arrived. She only got the tragic news later and has been in shock since,” Rosaliah said when met at Hospital Rembau’s forensic department.
She said Muhammad Asraf Adha went through surgery and was at the intensive care unit of HTJ.
She said both brothers were extremely close and spent a lot of time together.
Earlier, Seremban OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Hatta Che Din said the car was driven by an 18-year-old youth.
“A preliminary investigation revealed that the driver and his 17-year-old passenger were heading towards Paroi from Senawang when the crash happened.
“It also revealed that the driver had failed to stop at a traffic light junction, causing two motorcyclists coming from the left to crash into the car,” he said.
Both the car driver and the passenger as well as the 17-year-old rider of the other motorcycle, Aisar Azim Abdullah, suffered serious injuries.
ACP Mohamad Hatta urged witnesses to contact Insp G. Sankar at 014-600 0353 or the nearest police station to assist in investigation.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
Meanwhile, Azizah Ab Ghani said her nephew, Muhammad Aswari, was the youngest of four siblings and had always been independent.
“Although he was schooling, he would work as a dishwasher at an eatery whenever he had time.
“He was a good boy who never liked to burden his family,” she said.
The remains of the deceased, who were students of a secondary school near here, were laid to rest at a Muslim cemetery in Sikamat.
