Man killed on PLUS Expressway while receiving assistance
The 6.25pm accident, which occurred at KM1.6 of the PLUS Expressway, involved another motorcycle and two additional cars, all of which were hit by the same vehicle, according to Harian Metro.
Johor Bahru Selatan district police chief, Supt Azrul Hisham Mohd Shaffe, said it is believed that the accident happened when the 23-year-old victim lost control of his Honda Wave motorcycle.
'The motorcycle that the victim rode, which was heading from Kempas to Johor Bahru, lost control and skidded before falling into the right lane.
'Another motorcyclist riding a Yamaha XMax, a 33-year-old local man, and a Toyota Vios driver who were passing through the area stopped in the middle and right lanes to assist the victim,' he was quoted as saying.
While the Toyota Vios and Honda City drivers were attempting to move their vehicles to allow the Yamaha XMax rider to help the victim, a Subaru Impreza driven by a Singaporean man, travelling in the right lane, was unable to avoid the scene in time and ran over the victim, who was lying on the road.
The Subaru Impreza also collided with the Yamaha XMax motorcycle, the Toyota Vios, and the Honda City at the same instance.
The Honda Wave motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene, while the Yamaha XMax rider suffered a broken right leg and is receiving treatment in the Yellow Zone of Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA).
Meanwhile, the drivers of the Honda City and Toyota Vios did not sustain any serious injuries.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

Marriage tested by hubby's autism diagnosis
Compiled by DIVYA THERESA RAVI, CHOW HOW BAN and R. ARAVINTHAN AFTER seven years of marriage, a wife discovered that her husband is autistic, Harian Metro reported. Noor Hasnita, 32, said her husband, Mohamad Azhar, 33, was unsure about his condition until he went for a medical check-up last year. She admitted that after his diagnosis, she mulled the idea of asking for a divorce. 'When I found out, I was calm, but it took months for me to accept it,' she said. She said she has always been the dominant person in their marriage as her husband does not know what to do when asked. 'In our seventh year, I could feel something was wrong after finding out he had a blog and wrote every day, but not like a normal person,' she said. Shortly after that, they decided to consult a doctor. 'When I first met my husband, I noticed he was kind and quiet, so as a woman, I certainly liked him,' Noor Hasnita said. The couple got to know each other in 2014 through social media. > A furious actress wants to meet her online troll at a police station for defaming her on social media, Kosmo! reported. The individual had accused Nur Ruhainies Farehah Zainul Ilyas, 33, also known as Ruhainies, for living a luxurious lifestyle funded by an alleged sugar daddy. The actress said she will not accept any apology and wants to drag the individual to the authorities to seek justice. 'I want to settle it at the police station and file a report. I want to meet you. You said I got an allowance from a sugar daddy,' said Ruhainies on social media. She also shared a screenshot of her conversation with a woman who apologised for the mistake, claiming that her account had been hacked. > A 45-year-old man was angry because his best friend did not reveal that he had stage four cancer, Harian Metro reported.

But when he saw Saiful standing weak at his door a month later, his heart softened and he gave him a hug. Mohd Husin said Saiful did not want him to know about his situation.
