BUKIT MERTAJAM:A lorry driver was killed after being thrown out of his vehicle before he plunged from a seven-metre flyover following an early morning accident at KM137 of the North-South Expressway, near Seberang Jaya roundabout, here today.
Seberang Perai Tengah district police chief ACP Shafee Abd Samad said in the 3.15 am incident, Muhammad Shafiq Abd Razak, 33, from Mengkuang Semarak here, was on his way to his company delivery hub in Pokok Sena, before his lorry collided with a high-powered motorcycle ridden by a police constable.
“It was believed that the lorry collided with a motorcycle before the lorry driver lost control and skidded into a guardrail. The impact of the collision had caused the victim to be thrown out of his vehicle and plunged from a seven-metre flyover. He suffered severe head and body injuries.
“Meanwhile, the motorcyclist, Roger Daniel James, 20, who is attached to the Northeast district police headquarters, also suffered severe head injuries and fractured his both legs,” he said in a statement today.
He said the two victims were sent to Seberang Jaya Hospital and the lorry driver was confirmed dead while receiving treatment at the scene while the motorcyclist was in critical condition.
