PETALING JAYA : Police have arrested the driver of a pickup truck who surrendered himself in Melaka some 13 hours after a hit-and-run with a motorcycle in which an elderly woman was killed and her husband seriously injured.
Police said the couple, riding a Honda Wave 125 motorcycle, were on their way from their home in Durian Tunggal to a restaurant in Balai Panjang.
The motorcycle had stopped at the traffic light junction at about 11pm when it was rear-ended by a Mitsubishi Triton coming from Malim heading towards Bachang.
The pillion-rider, Roslinah Sinan, 53, was killed, while her husband, Hisham Omar, 57, suffered severe injuries, said Melaka Tengah police chief Christopher Patit.
He said the driver of the pickup truck was not injured and fled the scene after the collision. A man has been arrested and held in custody pending a remand application tomorrow.

IGP confirms no travel ban on Fahmi Reza
Mohd Fahmi Reza Mohd Zarin KUALA LUMPUR (June 8): No official travel restrictions have been imposed on activist and graphic artist Mohd Fahmi Reza Mohd Zarin, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said. He said Fahmi Reza's name was included in the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) movement monitoring list for internal record and reference purposes due to ongoing investigations involving him. 'However, it must be emphasised that this list does not imply any restrictions but is part of the standard monitoring procedures implemented by the authorities,' he said in a statement today. Razarudin said the confusion occurred during the exit clearance process yesterday, resulting in the erroneous issuance of a movement restriction order, adding that the matter is being reviewed with appropriate steps to be taken to refine existing procedures. 'PDRM remains committed to protecting and respecting the freedom of movement of every Malaysian, and the individual concerned is free to travel in and out of the country as usual, subject to any regulations set by the Immigration Department and other relevant laws,' he said. Acoording to media reports yesterday, Fahmi Reza had claimed he was barred from travelling overseas after being blacklisted from entering Sabah recently. In a Facebook post, Fahmi Reza said he only learned of the matter after being informed by an immigration officer while at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to depart for Singapore.
