TEMERLOH: Two teenagers were killed yesterday after the motorcycle they were riding was rammed by a car, which was later found to be carrying drugs.
In the 11pm incident, Nur Irdina Shaffiya Muhammad Nazri and her pillion rider, Aneez Irdiena Sofya Khairul Azman, both 18, died on the spot at a traffic light junction along Jalan Tengku Ismail here.
District police chief Assistant Commissioner Mazlan Hassan said the 38-year-old driver of a Perodua Bezza, from Kuala Lumpur, who crashed into the teenagers, escaped unhurt.
"The motorcycle and the Bezza were both travelling from Mentakab towards the Bukit Angin roundabout in Temerloh.
"Nur Irdina had stopped her Yamaha Ego Avantiz motorcycle at the traffic light when the Bezza rammed into them, killing both victims instantly," he said in a statement today.
He said that during an inspection of the vehicle at the Temerloh district police headquarters around 12.30am, police found two packets containing a crystalline substance believed to be syabu, weighing 50.85g, and heroin weighing 0.85g, with a total estimated value of RM6,100 in the rear seat.
Mazlan said the driver tested negative for drugs but is being investigated under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, which carries a mandatory death sentence upon conviction. He is expected to be remanded today.
The bodies of both victims have been sent to Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital for post-mortem.
