BINTANGOR (July 11): A tragic early morning accident along Jalan Skim B near here today claimed the lives of a motorcyclist and his pillion rider.
Meradong district police chief DSP Tansli Mering said police received a report at around 4am of a crash involving a motorcycle and a car.
'Initial investigation suggested that the car travelling from Sarikei towards Jalan KJD hit the motorcycle along the same lane.
'However, further investigation indicated that both the rider and pillion were likely to have been involved in a self accident first before being hit by the car,' he said in a statement today.
Paramedics at the scene confirmed that both victims died on the spot, while the driver of the car was unharmed.
