PENAMPANG: A 32-year-old motorcyclist, a father of four whose youngest child is just one month old, was killed in a road accident along Jalan Bundusan on Monday evening.
The crash occurred at about 7.30pm when a Toyota Vios driven by a 48-year-old man lost control in rainy conditions while travelling towards the Towering area.

Police said both vehicles were moving in the same direction from a nearby golf club when the car skidded, hit the left road divider, and then slammed into the motorcycle.
The motorcyclist suffered severe injuries and died at the scene, with his sister later sharing that his wife had given birth to their fourth child only a month ago.
The car driver was unhurt, while police secured the area, began investigations, and sent the victim’s body to hospital for a post-mortem.
