KUALA LUMPUR, October 13 — The police are currently seeking witnesses and dashcam footage in connection with a tragic accident that occurred on the Cheras-Kajang Highway, resulting in the death of a 23-year-old male motorcyclist. Kajang police chief ACP Naazron Abdul Yusof announced that a report on the incident was received around 6pm on the previous day.

According to the initial investigation, the victim, who had been traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Kajang, is believed to have lost control of his motorcycle, causing him to fall onto the road. In the same incident, a lorry moving straight ahead was unable to avoid the unfortunate cyclist and struck him, resulting in his death at the scene.

The police have yet to receive a report from the lorry driver. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which pertains to driving recklessly or dangerously, resulting in death. The police have urged anyone with information or dashcam footage of the accident to come forward and assist in the investigation.

ACP Naazron provided the contact information for the investigating officer, Insp Nur Faezah Mohd Zakria, at 012-326 8496. He also reminded road users to always be responsible, follow traffic rules, respect speed limits, and drive with caution.
