What role did lane positioning play in the fatal Myvi collision?

Question

Accepted Answer

Lane Positioning Was a Critical Factor in the Fatal Collision

A 19-year-old night market trader, Muhammad Zulhairi Azhar Mohd Shahrizan, tragically died on the East Coast Expressway (LPT) after his motorcycle skidded and he was subsequently thrown into the path of an oncoming Perodua Myvi. The collision occurred at Kilometre 112.3 of the LPT, heading towards Kuantan, around 11 pm. Initial investigations indicate that the victim's motorcycle first skidded and fell onto the left lane before the rider was ejected into the right lane.
Motorcycle Fell into the Right Lane After Skidding

The sequence of events leading to the fatal collision began when Muhammad Zulhairi Azhar Mohd Shahrizan's Yamaha LC135 motorcycle reportedly skidded and fell. This initial loss of control caused the motorcycle to end up in the left lane of the expressway. Tragically, the rider himself was then thrown from his motorcycle, landing in the right lane.
Perodua Myvi Unable to Avoid Rider in the Right Lane

A Perodua Myvi, travelling on the right lane of the LPT, was then directly involved in the fatal incident. As the victim was in the right lane, the Myvi driver was unable to take evasive action to avoid colliding with him. This inability to avoid the rider, who had landed in its path, resulted in the collision.
Rider Pronounced Dead at the Scene

Following the impact with the Perodua Myvi, the victim was thrown back towards the left lane of the expressway. He was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The investigation into the incident is being conducted under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
Victim Lacked Motorcycle Licence and Failed to Control Bike

Further investigations revealed that the victim, Muhammad Zulhairi Azhar Mohd Shahrizan, did not possess a motorcycle licence at the time of the crash. It is believed that the primary cause of the accident was the victim's own negligence in failing to maintain control of the motorcycle he was riding, which led to the initial skid and subsequent ejection into the path of another vehicle.
