Arau District Police chief Supt Ahmad Mohsin Md Rodi confirmed that the victim, who suffered severe head injuries and a fractured right leg, succumbed to his injuries while receiving treatment at the Emergency Unit of Tuanku Fauziah Hospital (HTF) in Kangar at 7:38 AM.
According to police, the Arau District Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Division (BSPTD) was alerted to the crash at 2:10 AM.

“The three other motorcyclists, including a GiatMARA student, all males and aged 20, who were also injured, were taken to HTF for treatment,” Ahmad Mohsin said in an official statement today.
