SHAH ALAM, April 20 — One motorcyclist died while two others were seriously injured after crashing their motorcycles into a car at a traffic light junction in Kampung Raja Uda, Klang, this morning.
South Klang police chief Ramli Kasa said a 22-year-old Malaysian man was dead at the scene, while two other victims, aged 22 and 16, suffered serious injuries.
He said local motorcyclists who survived the incident with injuries were taken to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang for treatment, but the driver of the car was unhurt.
“The incident at around 4.10am this morning is believed to have occurred when the car, which was coming from Port Klang towards Jalan Kim Chuan, approached the Kampung Raja Uda intersection and turned right as the traffic light was green.
“While the car was turning at the intersection, a group of motorcyclists travelling from Klang towards Port Klang did not stop when the traffic light turned red for them, and crashed into the car,” he said in a statement today.
Ramli in the same statement asked people with information on the incident to contact the investigating officer Mohd Khairulnizam Abdul Talib at 010-245 2144 and advised the public to be more careful on the roads.
“Parents or guardians must also always pay attention, and supervise teenagers so they do not get involved in street gangsterism that can cause danger to themselves and other road users,” he said.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
Earlier, a video went viral on social media, showing a chaotic situation at the intersection of the Kampung Raja Uda traffic light, with a group of motorcyclists gathering near the car.
