SEREMBAN, Oct 20 — A man was killed in a three-vehicle collision at KM 13, Jalan Bahau-Rompin, Jempol, near here yesterday.

Jempol police chief Supt Norhisham Mustapar said the accident occurred at about 11.40pm, with the 32-year-old victim, who was driving a Perodua Viva, confirmed dead at the scene due to severe head injuries.

“Investigations found that the incident occurred when a 39-year-old man, who was heading from Bahau to Rompin, lost control of his Proton Persona vehicle, which then veered into the opposite lane.

“The Proton Persona then clipped a Honda City, driven by another 39-year-old man, before colliding with the victim’s Perodua Viva, causing the Proton Persona vehicle to catch fire,” he said in a statement today.

He said the Proton Persona driver suffered minor injuries while the Honda City driver escaped unscathed.
