KULAI, Sept 18 (Bernama) -- A 19-year-old man was killed and several others were injured in a crash involving four motorcycles, a car, and a lorry at Kilometre 4 on the Kulai-Kota Tinggi Road, early today.
Kulai police chief ACP Tan Seng Lee said the accident occurred around 1.05 am when a 26-year-old woman driving a Perodua Bezza struck a cow that suddenly crossed the road.
"The impact caused the car to lose control, veering into the opposite lane and colliding with a Yamaha 135LC motorcycle ridden by the victim and a Hino lorry," he said in a statement today.
Tan added that three other Yamaha 135LC motorcycles were unable to avoid the crash and collided with the side and rear of the lorry. The riders sustained various injuries.
The 19-year-old motorcyclist was confirmed dead at the scene due to severe injuries.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
