A CAAM officer in Tawau has tragically lost his life following a collision involving his motorcycle and a Toyota Camry. The 55-year-old local man was pronounced dead at the scene after the 6pm incident on August 27. The Tawau district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Rosdi Mat Jusoh, stated that preliminary investigations revealed both vehicles were traveling in the same direction when the collision occurred.
The victim, riding his Yamaha RXZ motorcycle, was heading from Tawau town towards Taman Millennium, while the driver of the Toyota Camry was en route from Kampung Titingan to Batu Payung. At the Batu Hijau junction, the Toyota Camry had cleared the traffic lights, while the motorcycle was on its right side, potentially losing balance due to the uneven road surface.
The right lane had recently been resurfaced and was higher than the left lane, which had not yet been resurfaced. The uneven road surface is believed to have caused the victim to lose his balance, resulting in his motorcycle becoming lodged underneath the front of the Toyota Camry. The driver of the Camry was uninjured, while the victim's body was taken to Tawau Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
