A form one student was tragically killed in a freak accident involving a lorry in Pekan Meru, Klang, at around 3.30pm yesterday evening.
The gruesome incident was also recorded by another vehicle’s dash cam showing the teenager riding a bicycle in a group with three other boys.
When approaching Jalan Persiaran Hamzah Alang, the group made a sudden turn while a lorry, which has the right of way, was travelling on the road.
Inside the video, the victim emerged lifeless after being run over by the lorry.
“The lorry behind him failed to avoid him and crashed into him. The 13-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident,” North Klang OCPD Asst Comm S. Vijaya Rao was quoted as saying by The Star.
He added that a post-mortem will be conducted after the result of a Covid-19 test is confirmed.
S. Vijaya also said that no arrest has been made so far in connection with the incident, while the lorry driver’s statement has been recorded.
