SEREMBAN: An Indonesian man died after being hit by a car at KM 238.4 (North) of the PLUS Ayer Keroh-Senawang Highway on Saturday morning (Aug 9).
He was believed to be crossing the road from the emergency lane.
Rembau deputy police chief DSP Azmi Ali said the victim, the 32-year-old lorry attendant, was pronounced dead at the scene at 8.18am due to severe head and body injuries.
He said initial investigations found that the lorry driver had stopped his vehicle in the emergency lane due to a flat tyre.
The victim then got down for the lorry and attempted to cross the road, but was hit by a luxury car driven by a 56-year-old man.
Both the lorry driver and the car driver were not injured, he said in a statement on Saturday.
Azmi said the body was sent to the Rembau Hospital Forensic Unit for a post-mortem, and the case is being investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. – Bernama
