IPOH: A motorcyclist died after crashing into a herd of cows crossing the road at Km 24 Jalan Ferri, Hutan Melintang, here yesterday.
Bagan Datuk police chief Ali Jali said the contractor, 37, died due to injuries to his neck and chest.
Ali said the accident, which occurred at about 8pm, also involved three other vehicles — a motorcycle, a car and a lorry.
“The other motorcyclist, 38, suffered minor injuries, while the drivers of the car and lorry, aged 44 and 29, escaped unhurt,” he said.
He said the contractor was on his way from Sabak Bernam to Hutan Melintang at the time.
“The motorcyclist was unable to avoid the five cows that suddenly crossed from the left to the right side of the road,” he said.
