KUALA LUMPUR: A motorcyclist has been injured and a tourist hospitalised after allegedly jaywalking across Jalan Chow Kit here.
Kuala Lumpur traffic investigation and enforcement department chief Asst Comm Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa said that the incident occurred at 2.37am on Sunday (May 10).
"The accident involved a motorcycle ridden by a 26-year-old local man and a 49-year-old male pedestrian from New Zealand," he said in a statement on Sunday (May 10).
He said the motorcyclist suffered cuts to his hands and legs, while the pedestrian broke his right leg, and is being treated at Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
"The accident is believed to have occurred when the pedestrian suddenly crossed the road at a location that was not a designated pedestrian crossing, resulting in the collision," he said.
The case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
