Couple's final breakfast before fatal motorcycle convoy crash
BESUT: A husband and wife who died in a road accident on Jalan Gong Kedak here this morning had stopped for breakfast with fellow members of their motorcycle convoy shortly before the crash.
Mohd Zamri Mohd Zaki, 41, and Norlyana Ismail, 45, died in a fatal motorcycle accident in BESUT this morning. The couple had stopped for breakfast with fellow convoy members at an eatery near the accident site. Convoy member Md Faizal Md Yusof, 52, stated that the group of 12 Aveta Nova 250 motorcycles left Kuala Terengganu at 7.30am and were headed to Kuala Perlis.
The couple were in the second group of six riders, while Faizal led the final group. The accident occurred when the convoy collided with a lorry traveling in the opposite direction. Faizal, who was only a few minutes behind the couple, witnessed the victims lying by the roadside. Despite their recent acquaintance, Faizal recalled the couple as cheerful, humorous, and eager for the three-day, two-night convoy.
The accident resulted in the deaths of the couple and injuries to three others: a 51-year-old man, a 50-year-old woman, and a 51-year-old woman. The collision involved a lorry driven by a 57-year-old man, a motorcycle ridden by the 51-year-old woman, and the couple's motorcycle. The couple were from Batu Rakit, and the injured individuals included a 51-year-old man and two women. The case is under investigation under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
