Police: Preliminary probe finds Ipoh motorcyclists speeding in convoy before fatal crash

Preliminary police investigations indicate that a group of motorcyclists involved in a fatal accident along Jalan Jelapang-Ampang, Ipoh, were speeding in a convoy and subsequently crashed into a Toyota Vios, resulting in three deaths and multiple injuries.

The route is known for illegal street racing, with police conducting frequent operations to curtail such activities.

Despite these efforts, racers often resume after operations conclude.

Further investigations are ongoing to ascertain the accident's cause and confirm vehicle ownership, with statements recorded from most involved parties except a victim still in ICU.

TANJONG MALIM, Sept 21 — Police said preliminary investigations found that the group of motorcyclists involved in the accident along Jalan Jelapang-Ampang, Ipoh, which claimed three lives last Saturday, were believed to have been travelling at high speed while riding in a convoy.

Perak police chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin said investigations also found that some members of the group travelling from Ipoh subsequently lost control and crashed into a Toyota Vios.

“Following the collision, the second group of motorcyclists failed to avoid the motorcycles and car that had already been involved in the accident in time and crashed into them,” he told a press conference here today.

Mohd Alwi said the route had also been identified as a hotspot for illegal street racing and road hooliganism, with police conducting operations in the early hours of the morning to curb such activities.

However, he said after police completed their operations at around 3am, the motorcyclists would return to gather and resume the activities.

He added that all parties involved had been identified, and police were still conducting further investigations to determine the actual cause of the accident, including confirming the actual owners of the vehicles involved.

Police had also recorded statements from the motorcyclists involved and the driver of the car involved, except for one victim who is still receiving treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

He said the 19-year-old male victim from Perak was still receiving treatment at the ICU of Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (HRPB), Ipoh, and his statement had yet to be recorded.

The accident, which occurred at about 3.35am on Sept 19, resulted in three male motorcyclists, aged between 19 and 20, killed at the scene, while nine other male motorcyclists, aged between 19 and 25, sustained various injuries.

Meanwhile, Mohd Alwi said the Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division of the Ipoh district police headquarters (IPD) had conducted 64 operations to curb illegal road racing from January to September 19.

“During the same period, 11 arrests were made under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987, while action was taken in 41 vehicle seizure cases under Section 64(1) of the same Act,” he said. — Bernama

警方初步调查显示，在怡保 Jalan Jelapang-Ampang 发生的一起致命交通事故中，一群摩托车手组成车队超速行驶，随后撞上一辆丰田 Vios，造成三人死亡，多人受伤。

这条路线以非法街头赛车而闻名，警方经常开展行动来制止此类活动。

尽管采取了这些措施，但赛车手往往会在行动结束后重返赛场。

目前仍在进行进一步调查，以确定事故原因并确认车辆所有权，除一名仍在重症监护室的受害者外，大多数相关人员都已作证。

丹戎马林，9月21日讯——警方表示，初步调查发现，上周六在怡保杰拉邦-安邦路发生的造成三人死亡的摩托车事故中，涉事摩托车队据信当时以车队形式高速行驶。

霹雳州警察总长拿督莫哈末·阿维·扎伊纳尔·阿比丁表示，调查还发现，这群从怡保出发的游客中，有人随后失去控制，撞上了一辆丰田威驰。

“碰撞发生后，第二组摩托车骑手未能及时避开已经卷入事故的摩托车和汽车，撞上了它们，”他今天在这里举行的新闻发布会上说。

莫哈末·阿尔维表示，这条路线也被认定为非法街头赛车和道路流氓行为的热点地区，警方在清晨开展行动以遏制此类活动。

不过，他表示，警方在凌晨 3 点左右完成行动后，摩托车手们会返回聚集并继续活动。

他还补充说，所有涉事人员都已确定，警方仍在进行进一步调查，以确定事故的真正原因，包括确认涉事车辆的实际车主。

警方还记录了涉事摩托车手和涉事汽车司机的证词，但其中一名受害者仍在重症监护室 (ICU) 接受治疗。

他说，这名来自霹雳州的 19 岁男性受害者仍在怡保 Raja Permaisuri Bainun 医院 (HRPB) 的重症监护室接受治疗，他的证词尚未被记录。

这起事故发生在 9 月 19 日凌晨 3 点 35 分左右，造成三名年龄在 19 岁至 20 岁之间的男性摩托车骑手当场死亡，另有九名年龄在 19 岁至 25 岁之间的男性摩托车骑手受伤。

与此同时，莫哈末·阿尔维表示，怡保地区警察总部交通调查和执法部门从1月到9月19日开展了64次行动，以遏制非法飙车行为。

他说：“同期，警方根据1987年《道路交通法》第42(1)条逮捕了11人，并根据该法第64(1)条处理了41起车辆扣押案件。”——马新社
