[VIDEO] Motorcycle Rams Into 11yo Student, Leaving Him Severely Injured

An 11-year-old student was severely injured after a motorcycle collided into him while he was crossing the road near a school at Senggarang, Batu Pahat around 7am on Tuesday (Aug 16).

The incident was first captured by a dashcam attached to the rear of a car and was later uploaded to TikTok.

Told by guard to cross

In the 1-minute clip, it showed the student waiting patiently by the roadside as several cars passed by.

After several seconds, the light turns green and a school guard standing on the other side of the road signals to the student to cross.

Barely after the student took a few steps forward, a motorcycle suddenly appeared and rammed into him, sending both parties sprawling across the road.
