REMBAU:
Two men were killed after being hit by a trailer when they were believed to be trying to refuel a lorry on the emergency lane at KM241.6 of the North-South Expressway (northbound) here, early today.

Rembau police chief Hazri Mohamad in a statement said the incident occurred at about 12.30am and involved three vehicles, namely a lorry, a motorcycle and a trailer.

He said the driver of the lorry, Saifuddin Abdullah, 50, was confirmed dead at the scene due to severe head injuries, while the motorcyclist, R. Morgana Krishnan, 49, was also killed at the scene.

“A preliminary investigation found that the lorry driver had stopped on the emergency lane because he ran out of fuel, and the motorcyclist came to help him with a bottle of fuel.

“Then a trailer from Ayer Keroh heading towards Senawang crashed into the two victims standing on the right side of the lorry,” he said, adding that the bodies were taken to the Rembau Hospital for an autopsy.

According to Hazri, the driver of the trailer fled the scene after the accident, and efforts were underway to track down the individual.
