In a statement by Ampang Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail, police received a report regarding the incident at around 1.10pm.
“Preliminary investigations found that the victim tried to avoid another motorcycle that was going against traffic, but he hit the left road barrier and was thrown off the bridge, where he fell approximately 30 meters while his motorcycle was dragged to the middle of the road.
“His body was later found lying face down behind the Smart Sungai Klang Control Station fence,” he said.
Mohd Azam said the victim suffered severe injuries to his legs and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The case is currently being probed under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and witnesses are urged to provide more information or contact Traffic Investigating Officer Inspector Muhamad Yusaiful Muhamat Basir at 011-13078348.
