A 28-year-old motorcyclist from Petaling Jaya was killed when his motorcycle collided with a car at KM5.7 of Jalan Pantai in Port Dickson at about 4.30am on Sunday (Nov 15).
Port Dickson police chief Supt Ahmad Afiq Mohd Adnan said the man, who was taking part in the 125ZR Members Gathering 2.0 programme, died at the scene.
Initial investigations found that the rider is believed to have lost control of his motorcycle and skidded into the opposite lane, where he hit a Perodua Axia driven by a 29-year-old local woman, he said in a statement.
The car had been travelling from Batu 4, Jalan Pantai, towards Taman Intan Duyung. Its driver suffered minor injuries.
The motorcyclist’s body was sent to the forensic unit of Port Dickson Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Police are investigating the case under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, which deals with causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.
The 125ZR is a two-stroke Yamaha motorcycle model with a large following among Malaysian riders.
