Traffic cop killed in crash while trailing rider
Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief, Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa, said the victim, identified as Lance Corporal Muhammad Amirul Aiman Muhammad Othman, 24, died at the scene of the crash at about 4.40am after losing control of his motorcycle near Jalan Tun Razak.
"At the time of the incident, he and another officer were trailing a motorcyclist who had been performing illegal stunts.
"They were not in pursuit, but following the rider when the crash occurred.
"Preliminary investigations showed that upon reaching the slip road from Jalan Tun Razak to Jalan Kuching, the victim skidded and lost control of his motorcycle due to the slippery and wet road surface," Zamzuri said.
He said that another policeman was also injured in the same incident, as he was travelling about 10 seconds behind the deceased on a separate motorcycle.
"The deceased lost control and fell on the left side of the road, while the second policeman crashed on the right side seconds later.
"Fortunately, the second policeman only sustained minor injuries and is currently being treated at Kuala Lumpur Hospital," he said.
Amirul Aiman, who died at the scene, had served with the city traffic police since completing his training nearly four years ago, and had been attached to the Intelligence and Operations Unit for the past year.
He leaves behind a widow and three children.
His remains will be brought back to his hometown in Ajil, Terengganu, for burial today.
