KOTA TINGGI, Aug 9 — A local man was killed and two others injured in a three-motorcycle crash at Kilometre 28.5 of Jalan Kulai-Kota Tinggi last night.

Kota Tinggi district police chief Supt Yusof Othman said the incident occurred around 9pm when a Yamaha Y16ZR, ridden by a 38-year-old local man travelling from Kulai towards Kota Tinggi, collided with the rear of a Suzuki Smash Revo ridden by a 34-year-old foreign man.

Following the impact, the Yamaha rider was thrown into the middle of the road and was subsequently hit by a Honda RS150 ridden by a 32-year-old local man coming from the same direction, who was unable to avoid him.

“The victim sustained severe head injuries and died at the scene,” he said in a statement today.

The victim’s body was sent to the Forensic Unit of Kota Tinggi Hospital for a post-mortem, while the other two riders are receiving treatment at the same hospital.
