Three persons have died and three others were critically injured in an early morning collision involving multiple automobiles and motorbikes in Penang.
The incident took place on the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Highway in George Town and was claimed to include Mat Rempit motorcyclists engaging in illicit racing at around 4.40 AM.
According to accounts, the three men who died on the spot were all bikers, and their remains were taken to Hospital Penang.
A 4th bystander died later in the hospital.
The injured were Mohd Haziq Harris, 34, Muhammad Rahimi Shukor, 19, and Muhammad Shazwan Hafiz Mohd Abdul Sani, 22.
The collision was also said to have occurred near the E-Gate pass.
A netizen who managed to filmed the race said:
More than 20 years ago, there was a group of boys who didn’t understand the sky and the earth. They gathered together on weekend nights for no purpose but to race until dawn.
Now they all end up dead.
