KAJANG: A motorcyclist died after he was decapitated in a freak accident at KM24 of the Kajang SILK Highway early this morning.
Selangor Traffic Enforcement and Investigation Department chief Superintendent Azman Shari'at said the victim, Samsuri Adam, 30, was on his way home to Pulau Carey from Hulu Langat when he lost control of his motorcycle and crashed into a divider at 5.25am.
“We believe the victim may have lost control of his motorcycle and hit the divider on the left side of the road.
