# 18yo M’sian Killed By Lorry 3 Months After Starting New Job In Penang

##### A young man was tragically killed after a lorry rammed into him at a construction site in Penang on Wednesday (May 28).

The victim was identified as 18-year-old Huang Yufeng (transliteration), who hailed from Johor and had just started his new job three months ago.

According to [Sin Chew Daily](https://www.sinchew.com.my/?p=6573962), Huang drove a pickup truck to Penang Science Park to collect goods at around 4pm.

##### After parking the truck next to a construction site, he was just about to open the back door to retrieve some goods when a lorry collided into him from behind.

An ambulance was called to the scene but sadly Huang couldn't be saved and was pronounced dead by medical personnel.

[China Press](https://www.chinapress.com.my/20250529/%e6%81%b8%ef%bc%81%e5%88%9a%e8%b8%8f%e5%85%a5%e7%a4%be%e4%bc%9a%e5%8d%b3%e9%aa%a4%e9%80%9d-18%e5%b2%81%e5%8d%8e%e9%9d%92%e5%b7%a5%e5%9c%b0%e6%97%81-%e9%81%ad%e7%bd%97%e5%8e%98%e6%92%9e%e6%ad%bb/) later reported that the gravel truck driver has been arrested by police.

## Was described as a filial son

Speaking to reporters, Huang's parents said their eldest son had chosen to enter the workforce and work as a project coordinator after graduating from high school.

They added Huang began working at Penang Science Park in February and rented a house near there along with his colleagues.

"He told us that he plans to further his studies in the future but hadn't decided on a major.

"On top of that, he was a filial child who travelled back to Johor three times ever since he started working," his father told China Press.

Huang's body has since been taken back to Johor for a five-day wake before the funeral takes place on Sunday (June 1).
