PETALING JAYA: A jaywalking Myanmar man, struck by another car earlier, caused another crash after a Toyota Hilux ran over his body, lost control and rammed into a railing at the Federal Highway here.
Taxi driver Mohd Wan Jaafar, 60, said he was ferrying two passengers from Kuala Lumpur to Petaling Jaya at around 1.30am yesterday when he noticed a man crossing the highway.
“At that moment, a white Perodua Viva overtook me.
“Most likely, the driver could not brake in time and slammed into the man.
“The man’s body was hurled onto the opposite side of the highway where a Toyota Hilux ran over it and dragged it for some 50m before crashing into the railing,” he said.
Petaling Jaya OCPD ACP Arjunaidi Mohamed said the man crossing the highway was later identified as Myanmar national Dong Sian Sing.
He said that when the Toyota Hilux crashed, two passengers sitting in the back seat were thrown out of the vehicle and died on the spot.
“The driver and two other passengers in the Hilux suffered only light injuries and were sent to the University Malaya Medical Centre.”
