KUALA LUMPUR: The body of a pedestrian who had fallen into a river after being hit by a car has been found.
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) chief Asst Comm Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said the body of the man was found at about 7.30am yesterday, around 150m away from the accident site along Jalan Ipoh.
“The identity of the victim has yet to be determined and the body has been sent to Hospital Kuala Lumpur for a post-mortem,” he said when contacted.
On Friday, an accident involving two cars led to the collision with the pedestrian.
At the time of the incident, a car being driven by a 39-year-old Bangladeshi man had collided into the front side of another car.
“The car driven by the Bangladeshi man then struck a pedestrian before it plunged into the bridge and was caught between concrete structures and iron pipes,” ACP Mohd Zamzuri had said previously.
The pedestrian was flung into the river due to the crash.
Investigations also showed that the Bangladeshi driver did not own the car that was being driven and that police were tracing down its real owner for further action.
