KUANTAN: A 23-year-old female restaurant helper was killed in a crash involving two motorcycles in Jalan Tanjung Pasir here yesterday.

Nur Aiesya Mohd Norawie from Taman Impianku near here succumbed to her injuries in the 11pm accident while the rider of the other motorcycle, a 14-year-old Form Two student, sustained serious injuries.

District police chief Assistant Commissioner Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu said Nur Aiesyah was riding her Yamaha Ego Avantiz bike alone from Kota SAS towards Kampung Padang here while the male victim was riding his Honda motorcycle in the opposite direction.

"Investigations revealed while Nur Aiesyah was riding on the straight road, an oncoming motorcyclist veered into her lane resulting in a crash. Nur Aiesyah died at the scene.

"The student sustained serious injuries and passed out after the accident. He is receiving treatment at the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital's red zone," he said in a statement today.

Wan Zahari said the case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act for causing death due to reckless or dangerous driving.
