Army Personnel Dies After Fall From TBS Flyover Causes Secondary Multi-Vehicle Crash

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 – A 24-year-old Malaysian Army soldier lost his life on Tuesday morning after being thrown off a five-metre-high flyover ramp onto the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) near Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS).

Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) Chief ACP Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa confirmed that the fatal incident occurred at 8:04 AM on October 13, 2026.

The victim was commuting on a Honda Wave motorcycle from his residence in Bukit Jalil to his workplace at the Sungai Besi Camp when the crash happened.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the victim lost control of his machine while negotiating a ramp on the flyover near TBS to execute a U-turn, causing him to be thrown over the guardrail onto the highway below while his motorcycle remained on the elevated ramp above.

The victim’s fall triggered a multi-vehicle accident on the MRR2 below:

• Secondary Motorcyclist Collision: The falling soldier landed directly on a 46-year-old motorcyclist riding a Honda Vario from Cheras towards Sungai Besi, causing both individuals to fall onto the roadway.
• Lorry Involvement: A lorry driven by a 46-year-old man attempted to swerve to avoid the fallen individuals but was unable to prevent striking the Honda Vario motorcycle. The lorry driver escaped unharmed.

The 46-year-old Honda Vario rider sustained a fractured left arm, facial trauma, and internal head bleeding, and was rushed to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) for urgent medical treatment.
• Statutory Investigation & Appeal: The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.
