KUANTAN (Bernama) — A female participant in the “2,000 Selekoh Malaysia” convoy died in an accident after the motorcycle she was riding collided with a lorry at KM 17 Jalan Bera-Mayam, Bera, on Tuesday.
District Police Chief of Bera, Supt Zulkiflee Nazir, said the incident occurred around 11 a.m. and the Brunei national, Ili Aiman Abd Rahman, 38, passed away at 12:30 p.m. while receiving treatment at Bera Hospital.
He said the accident occurred while the victim was participating in a convoy with 25 other Bruneian participants traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Tasik Bera before returning to the capital.
“Initial investigations revealed that the accident happened while the victim was riding a Honda Rebel 500 motorcycle from Kerayong town heading towards Mayam.
