This accident caused the death of a male motorcyclist with his female pillion rider, both in their 20s after they sustained severe injuries.

It is said that they were going back to their home after having a meal near Bayan Lepas.

According to BERNAMA, a 16-year-old driving a Toyota Lexus (his mother’s car) had hit the lorry in front of him and caused it to lose control, hitting the motorcycle in front.
