SEREMBAN, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- A teenage boy on his way to work was killed in when his motorcycle was hit by a car along Jalan Temiang, near the Bukit Jong junction, early this morning.
Seremban police chief ACP Mohamad Hatta Che Din said the hit-and-run accident occurred at 6.45 am and the 17‑year‑old victim died at the scene from severe head injuries.
