NILAI - A man was killed in an accident when the motorcycle he was riding rammed the rear of a car that had stopped in the emergency lane at Kilometre 285 of the North-South Expressway (PLUS) heading north today.
Nilai police chief Supt Abdul Malik Hasim said the 37-year-old victim was pronounced dead by medical personnel at the scene due to severe injuries to the head and several other parts of his body.
He said the accident involved a Proton Persona car, driven by a 37-year-old man, which had suffered a punctured left rear tyre.
