BUTTERWORTH – A 17-year-old boy was killed while a 15-year-old girl was seriously injured after the motorcycle they were riding skidded before hitting the road divider at KM2.8 of Penang Bridge, Perai-bound today.

Seberang Prai Tengah district police chief Helmi Aris said police received information about the accident at about 4.38pm today, involving a motorcyclist who died at the scene due to serious injuries.

“Based on the preliminary investigation, it is believed that when the motorcyclist and the pillion rider, a 15-year-old girl, arrived at the scene of the incident, the rider lost control of the vehicle before it skidded and hit the road divider.

“Due to the impact, the two were thrown into the opposite lane and there was a car travelling from Prai to George Town. The car driver did not have time to avoid and hit the victims, resulting in the death of the boy on the spot while the girl was seriously injured,” he said in a statement tonight. 

He said the boy’s remains were sent to Penang Hospital for post-mortem while the girl was also treated at the same hospital. The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

He also urged members of the public who witnessed the accident to come forward to the nearest police station to assist in the investigation or contact the traffic branch of the Seberang Prai Tengah district police headquarters at 04-530-1342.

The accident caused severe congestion in both directions of the Penang Bridge. – March 10, 2024
