KLUANG: An unemployed man and his girlfriend died after the motorcycle they were riding crashed into a street signpost along Jalan Besar Kluang here.

“Initial investigation found that the motorcycle came from Jalan Besar Kluang heading towards Batu Pahat-Mersing roundabout.

“However, when the motorcycle reached the location, the motorcyclist then lost control of the vehicle before crashing into the street sign post,” he said here on Tuesday.

ACP Bahrin added the 31-year-old male motorcyclist died while being treated at Enche' Besar Hajjah Khalsom Hospital here, while his 25-year-old girlfriend, who was the pillion, died at the scene.

He said the victims had been identified as Ahmad Firdhous Sulaiman and Nurul Syafika Atira Zakaria. They died due to serious head and body injuries.
