A 21-year-old woman, Nur Atiqah Umairah Suhaimi, was tragically killed in an accident near Alor Setar Mall on Friday, 19th September 2026. The incident occurred at a traffic-light junction where she was riding her motorcycle. Police sources indicate that Nur Atiqah was traveling alongside a trailer from Masjid Aman towards Alor Setar Mall and Taman Desa Seraya when the accident took place around 5.50pm.
According to Kota Setar district police chief ACP Syed Basri Syed Ali, preliminary investigations suggest that the collision happened due to the motorcycle being too close to the left side of the trailer, potentially in the trailer's blind spot. As both vehicles were preparing to turn right at the green light, the trailer, positioned on its right side, sideswiped the motorcycle.
The impact of the collision propelled Nur Atiqah from the motorcycle, and she was subsequently run over by the trailer. She was pronounced dead on the scene, while the 40-year-old trailer driver escaped uninjured. Police are continuing their investigation, which includes locating independent witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage from the vicinity. The vehicles involved have been detained for further examination. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
