KUCHING (Dec 27): A teenage boy perished in a road accident involving three vehicles at a roundabout in Kilometre 5, Jalan Datuk Mohd Musa in Kota Samarahan on Saturday night.

He said the police received call on the accident at around 10pm, adding that the incident involved the motorcycle ridden by the deceased, a car and a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).
“The accident occured when the MPV which was moving from Summer Mall was using the middle lane at the roundabout, heading towards Uptown Kota Samarahan
“When exiting the roundabout, a car from the same direction that was moving at the left lane heading to Asajaya rammed the motorcycle which was moving in between the MPV and the car,” he said in a statement today.
