In a tragic incident in Tawau, Sabah, a Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) officer lost his life when his Yamaha RXZ motorcycle skidded and became lodged under a passing Toyota Camry. The 55-year-old local man suffered critical head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Tawau district police chief Assistant Commissioner Rosdi Mat Jusoh reported that both vehicles were moving in the same direction at the time of the collision.
The victim was traveling from Tawau town towards Taman Millennium, while the 28-year-old driver of the Toyota Camry was on his way from Kampung Titingan to Batu Payung. The preliminary investigation revealed that the uneven road surface, specifically the recently resurfaced right lane and the unresurfaced left lane, played a role in the victim's loss of balance, causing the motorcycle to fall in front of the moving car.
The car's driver was unharmed, with the victim's body subsequently taken to Tawau Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
