PETALING JAYA: Four children were badly injured when the motorcycle they were riding collided with a car driven by a teacher in Machang, Kelantan, this morning.
The victims, aged seven to 14, were on their way to school when the motorcycle ridden by the 14-year-old crashed into a car at Jalan Kota Bharu-Kuala Krai near SMK Seri Intan, reported Utusan Malaysia.
“The motorcycle is believed to have suddenly turned right to enter an intersection. This caused it to collide with the front right side of the car which was travelling in its proper lane,” said Machang police chief Azuhar Nor.
All the victims were taken to Sultan Ismail Petra Hospital for treatment. The car driver and her passenger were unhurt.
The case is being investigated for careless and inconsiderate driving or riding under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
