A teenager is recovering from serious injuries after a harrowing incident on the Kemuning-Shah Alam Highway (LKSA) on March 8. The incident occurred at KM7.3 along Persiaran Sultan, Section 14, when the 17-year-old motorcyclist attempted to evade a police roadblock.
According to Shah Alam district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim, the police were conducting a roadblock when the young rider, operating a Modenas Kriss motorcycle, made a dangerous U-turn in an attempt to avoid being stopped. Members of the Motorcycle Patrol Unit (URB), who were monitoring the area, tried to signal the teenager to halt. However, the rider disregarded the instructions and crossed the road over the divider.
“The motorcycle rider was then hit and dragged by a Toyota Hilux pickup truck,” Assistant Commissioner Iqbal stated. The teenager suffered a fractured left thigh, and fractured left and right shoulders.
The injured student, a Form Five student with no prior criminal record, is currently receiving treatment at Shah Alam Hospital. Preliminary investigations suggest the rider attempted to flee the roadblock because he did not have a valid driver’s license, and the motorcycle’s road tax had expired.
The incident was captured on video and has since circulated widely on social media, showing the teenager’s attempt to escape the police checkpoint.
