KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 3 — A motorcyclist was killed in an accident involving six vehicles on Jalan Hulu Langat-Ampang yesterday.
Kajang police chief Assistant Commissioner Naazron Abdul Yusof said the incident occurred at around 4.45pm, according to Malay daily Harian Metro today.
“Preliminary investigations found that at the time of the incident, four motorcycles and a car were travelling from Hulu Langat towards Ampang.

The victim, a local man, was pronounced dead at the scene, while five other motorcyclists and pillion riders who sustained injuries were taken to Hospital Ampang for treatment.
The drivers of both cars involved were uninjured.
