SEREMBAN: An Indonesian man died after being hit by a car while he was believed to be crossing the road from the emergency lane at Km238.4 of the Plus Ayer Keroh-Senawang expressway (northbound) this morning.
Rembau deputy police chief DSP Azmi Ali said the victim, a 32-year-old lorry attendant, was pronounced dead at the scene at 8.18am due to severe head and body injuries.
He said initial investigations found that the lorry driver had stopped the vehicle in the emergency lane due to a flat tyre when the victim got down and attempted to cross the road, but was hit by a Mercedes-Benz driven by a 56-year-old man.
Both the lorry driver and the car driver were not injured, he said in a statement today.
Azmi said the body was sent to the Rembau Hospital Forensic Unit for a post-mortem, and the case is being investigated under Section 41 (1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
