Malaysia Two dead in Jasin motorcycle crash after overtaking manoeuvre fails

The 41-year-old motorcyclist was believed to have entered the opposite lane while overtaking a vehicle before colliding with the motorcycle ridden by the 21-year-old victim, who was travelling straight in his lane.

“Both victims sustained serious head and body injuries and were pronounced dead at the scene,” he said in a statement today.

Lee said police were unable to obtain any CCTV or dashcam footage of the incident. He said both motorcycles sustained front-end damage and were sent to the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre (Puspakom) in Alor Gajah for inspection.

“The post-mortem will be conducted today at the Jasin Hospital Forensic Unit after the body identification process is completed,” he said, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
