A motorcyclist was killed after being thrown approximately 30 metres off a bridge in a crash involving an SUV and two motorcycles along KM15.8 of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway (SPE) on Thursday afternoon.
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa, said the incident occurred at about 4.40pm during heavy rain.
He said a Proton X50 SUV driven by a 21-year-old woman was believed to have lost control before skidding and colliding with two motorcycles that had stopped to take shelter.
As a result of the impact, a 31-year-old motorcyclist was thrown off the bridge and fell about 30 metres to the ground, where he was confirmed dead at the scene.
Another rider and a pillion passenger, both aged 18, sustained facial injuries and were treated at Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
Mohd Zamzuri said initial alcohol screening on the female driver returned negative results, however she has been detained to assist investigations.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
Police have urged witnesses or individuals with dashcam footage of the incident to contact the Jalan Tun H.S. Lee Traffic Police Station or the nearest police station to assist in the investigation.
