Previously, it was reported that a lorry slammed into a motorcyclist waiting at a red light, killing the rider instantly and leaving his body trapped under the lorry.
Now, a 41-year-old motorcyclist has also been killed after being run over by a lorry on Persiaran Rajawali – Jalan Angsa, Taman Berkeley in Klang, on Saturday (May 24) at about 4pm.
According to a report by Kosmo, the Klang Utara District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner S. Vijaya Rao, shared that investigations found that a lorry driven by a 54-year-old man had turned left into Jalan Angsa from Persiaran Rajawali, and hit the back of a motorcycle ridden by the victim.
“The lorry driver, who was unable to avoid it, ran over the victim. The motorcyclist died at the scene and was sent to the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital for post-mortem,” he said.
A urine test conducted on the lorry driver shows that he tested negative for drugs, though he does have 2 previous summonses, namely under Regulation 10 of LN 166/59 Traffic Rules and Section 79 (2) of the Road Transport Act (APJ) 1987.
“The lorry driver has been remanded for further investigations in accordance with Section 41 (1) of the APJ 1987. The public with information regarding this incident can contact the Investigating Officer, Inspector V. Kumarendran at 017-5253136 or any nearby police station,” he added.
