A 34-year-old man, who was riding a high-powered motorcycle, was killed after his machine crashed into the rear of a pick-up truck at Km98.6 of the East Coast Highway Phase 1 (LPT), near the Lanchang exit here yesterday.
In the 4.45pm incident, the pick-up truck abruptly stopped in its attempt to avoid crashing into a woman crossing the highway in the area.
The motorcycle rider, identified as Mohd Haziq Ramli, who is a musician attached to Kuala Lumpur City Hall, died on the spot during the accident.
Temerloh district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Hassan said preliminary investigation showed the accident was believed to have occurred after 35-year-old woman driving a jeep stopped by her vehicle by the roadside before crossing the highway.
"As a result of her actions, the pickup truck abruptly stopped when the woman was crossing the road. At the same time, a motorcycle coming from behind crashed into the rear of the pickup truck," Mazlan said in a statement.
Due to the impact of the crash, the motorcycle rider fell in the fast lane of the highway while his machine was thrown onto the rear of the pickup truck.
Police, said Mazlan, have arrested the woman, who is from China, to facilitate investigation into the accident.
