Biker killed in crash involving ex-Perak MB

A motorcyclist was killed when he was involved in a crash with former Perak menteri besar Datuk Seri Mohd Tajol Rosli Ghazali’s sports utility vehicle at Km28.1 Jalan Kuala Kangsar-Gerik here today.

Plantation worker Rina Kumala, 23, was said to have made a U-turn after coming out of a junction when the accident occurred at 10.55am, said Gerik police chief Supt Mahad Nor Abdullah.

He said Tajol Rosli, who was driving a Toyota Harrier, failed to avoid the motorcyclist.

Mahad said Rina succumbed to head injuries while being treated at a clinic in Lenggong, one hour later.

Tajol Rosli, who is Pengkalan Hulu assemblyman, was on his way to the Gerik Rest House with two friends to attend a ceremony. — Bernama
