Nilai police chief Abdul Malik Hasim said an initial investigation found the 45-year-old motorcyclist and his pillion rider were travelling from Seremban to Nilai to meet a friend when the accident occurred at 1.15pm.

“The motorcyclist is believed to have lost control while trying to avoid a lorry that had broken down in the emergency lane.

“Both the motorcyclist and pillion rider fell onto the road. The victim was struck by another lorry travelling in the same direction,” Bernama quoted him as saying today.

The motorcyclist suffered serious head injuries and died at the scene, while the 50-year-old pillion rider sustained injuries to his right hand and was treated on-site by medical personnel from the Nilai health clinic.

The driver of the second lorry is believed to have fled the scene.
