Motorcyclist’s head was run over by garbage truck
The deceased’s colleague told Shin Min that they had just finished work and were on their way back to Johor Bahru when the accident occurred.
The deceased was riding quite close to the garbage truck at the time and somehow got hooked on the vehicle.
This caused the motorcyclist to lose his balance and fall onto the road.
His head was then run over by the truck, killing him on the spot.
