Three men arrested after firefighter dies in Port Dickson hit-and-run, driver allegedly fled scene

SEREMBAN, Oct 27 — Police have arrested three local men to assist in investigations into a fatal accident involving a firefighter at KM2.6 of Jalan Pantai, Port Dickson, this morning.

Port Dickson police chief, Supt Ahmad Afiq Mohd Adnan, said that the three men, aged 31 and 32, comprised the driver of a Toyota Vios and two friends, who allegedly conspired to hide the car in Puchong, Selangor, and remove its registration number plates.

He said that at about 8.05 am, the victim, a 46-year-old man riding a Honda ADV160 motorcycle, and the car were believed to have been travelling from Telok Kemang towards Port Dickson.

“Upon reaching the scene, the car is believed to have made a U-turn, causing the motorcyclist, who was behind it, to try to avoid the vehicle before crashing into its right side and falling onto the opposite lane.

“The victim sustained serious injuries and was pronounced dead while receiving treatment at the Emergency Ward of Port Dickson Hospital, while the car driver fled the scene after the accident,” he said in a statement here last night.

Ahmad Afiq added that the car driver was subsequently arrested at the Serdang police headquarters at about 6.30 pm today, while his two friends were arrested in Puchong.

Checks found that the driver did not have a valid driving licence, while the vehicle’s road tax and insurance had expired.

He said that the case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, and an application for a remand order against all three men will be made at the Port Dickson Court today. — Bernama

芙蓉，10月27日讯——警方逮捕了三名当地男子，协助调查今天上午在波德申Jalan Pantai 2.6公里处发生的一起涉及一名消防员的致命事故。

波德申警区主任艾哈迈德·阿菲克·莫哈末·阿德南警监表示，这三名男子年龄分别为31岁和32岁，包括一辆丰田威驰的司机和他的两个朋友，他们涉嫌合谋将这辆车藏匿在雪兰莪州蒲种，并取下车牌。

他说，大约早上 8 点 05 分，受害者（一名 46 岁的男子）骑着一辆 Honda ADV160 摩托车，与这辆汽车一起从直落肯芒 (Telok Kemang) 前往波德申 (Port Dickson)。

“据信，汽车到达现场后掉头，导致跟在后面的摩托车手试图避让，结果撞上了汽车的右侧，摔倒在对面车道上。

“受害者身受重伤，在波德申医院急诊室接受治疗时被宣布死亡，而肇事司机在事故发生后逃离了现场，”他昨晚在此间发表的一份声明中说。

阿赫迈德·阿菲克补充说，这名汽车司机随后于今天下午6点30分左右在沙登警察总部被捕，而他的两名朋友则在蒲种被捕。

经核查发现，该驾驶员没有有效的驾驶执照，而车辆的道路税和保险均已过期。

他表示，此案正依据1987年《道路交通法》第41(1)条进行调查，并将于今日在波德申法庭申请对三名男子进行还押候审。——马新社
