The family of a motorcyclist who was killed after being struck by a transporter lorry is planning to take legal action over the incident which occurred last Saturday (November 23, 2024), reports The Star and Sinar Harian.
The Kuala Lumpur police traffic investigation and enforcement department confirmed that the 32-year-old male victim succumbed to his injuries after he was hit by the lorry that suddenly reversed from a construction site. In a statement, it noted that the lorry driver, also a 32-year-old man, was refilling brake fluid for the vehicle before it suddenly reversed on its own.
The lorry then crashed through a safety gate onto the main road, causing the victim on a Modenas Kriss motorcycle to lose control while trying to avoid it. The rider fell and was dragged under the right rear tyre of the lorry, resulting in his death.
A Honda Jazz was also hit by the lorry, and its driver sustained a forehead injury. The incident happened at around 8.34am on Jalan Kerinchi, heading from Jalan Pantai Dalam towards Jalan Pantai Baru, in front of The Sphere in Bangsar South.
“We, as a family, plan to take legal action against the lorry driver who caused my brother’s death in the accident,” said the victim’s brother. On the same day of the incident, the lorry driver was detained, with the case being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
KILLER TRUCKS ARE ON THE LOOSE
yes sue the blardy company sampai bankrupt, and set new benchmark of any accidenta involving heavy vehicles, lemak betul diorg ni semua
U sue company.the bugger close company,transfer all the assets b4 verdict,to bini’s or second wife nama,open new transport company.
U sue the driver until his underwear,he start going Mydin to steal Milo.
Only justice is for court to sentence driver to 10-20 years or more to jail plus 10 sebatan rotan.
Put the company owner/director to PN17 so he blacklist cannot transfer. Oh wait PMX have now allow people to escape blacklist even after PN17. Stoopid PMX is only pro businessmen!
Which company? The buying. Selling or manufacturing ? Or all the above ? Not the driver?
Penalise the transport company. suspend the divers’ license. This is really bad and sad. He was just 32 years!
May his soul rest in peace, and may his family find comfort and solace during this difficult time.
Take action against lorry driver for what? He also B40 as well, what do they expect to get from him. Lifetime servitude as their slave?
If want to saman, go after that transport company! Not the driver!
I thought the report polis give Final Outcome.
Still can sue?
Actions should not only be taken against the lorry driver, rather the lorry company boss, construction boss for failure to provide a safety surrounding. If can put these bosses to jail, that will send a message to the rest, otherwise nobody scare.
with all the recent videos, you can see all the trucks showing its sign of poor maintenance. sue for negligence!
