A third victim from the accident involving two motorcycles and a car at Jalan Persiaran Senawang 1 last Thursday has passed away.
Seremban police chief ACP Mohamad Hatta Che Din confirmed that the 17-year-old succumbed to his injuries at 7.23 pm yesterday while undergoing treatment at Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital (HTJ) since 6 March.
“The deceased was riding a Honda Vario motorcycle with a 13-year-old male pillion rider, who sustained serious injuries and remains hospitalised,” he stated.
The driver and passenger of the Honda Jazz, aged 18 and 17 respectively, are also receiving treatment at the same hospital.
The accident, which took place near the Matahari Heights traffic light junction, initially claimed the lives of two male secondary school students, aged 15 and 16.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the crash occurred when a teenage driver, travelling from Senawang to Paroi with a passenger, ran a red light. The Honda Jazz then collided with a Modenas Kriss motorcycle carrying the two deceased victims and the Honda Vario carrying the latest fatality and his friend.
