He added that the deceased was flung to the middle of the road during the collision and a car that was coming from behind the lorry rammed into the idle motorcycle.

Both the driver of the lorry, a 47-year-old man and the car, a 19-year-old woman did not suffer from any physical injuries.

The deceased’s body has since been transferred to the Bau Hospital’s morgue for further action and the case is currently being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
