JALAN LINGKARAN TENGAH 2, NEAR TERMINAL BERSEPADU SELATAN, KUALA LUMPUR, 13 OCTOBER 2026 —
A Malaysian Army soldier died after his motorcycle was thrown from a five‑metre‑high over‑bridge and struck a second rider on Jalan Lingkaran Tengah 2 near the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) at about 8.04 a.m. on Tuesday, police said.
Market Impact
The fatal incident occurred as the 24‑year‑old Lance Corporal Anderson Jerrey Hendry of the Malaysian Army was travelling from his home in Bukit Jalil to his workplace at Kem Sungai Besi on a Honda Wave. He lost control while navigating a U‑turn on the over‑bridge, was ejected five metres to the road below and his bike remained on the bridge.
The falling rider landed on a 46‑year‑old motorcyclist riding a Honda Vario from Cheras toward Sungai Besi, sending both men to the ground. An Isuzu lorry driven by another 46‑year‑old driver attempted to avoid the two victims but collided with the Honda Vario before it could clear the scene.
Assistant Commissioner Mohd Zamzuri Mohd Isa, chief of the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT), said the soldier suffered severe head and body injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. The rider of the Honda Vario sustained a broken left arm, facial injuries and head bleeding and was taken to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM) for further treatment. The lorry driver escaped unharmed.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. Police have appealed for witnesses to contact the Tun H S Lee Traffic Police Station on 03‑2071 9999 or any nearby police station.
The deceased Lance Corporal served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Corps (KJLJD) as an Automotive Technician in the 74 Workshop Division. The corps issued a condolence message to his family, noting that he left a pregnant wife who is expecting her first child in December.
The accident highlights safety concerns on Kuala Lumpur’s elevated road network, where sudden loss of control can result in vehicles falling from significant heights onto busy arterial roads. The over‑bridge where the crash occurred is a key connector to the TBS, a major transport hub for intercity buses and rail services.
Disruption to traffic on Jalan Lingkaran Tengah 2 was reported briefly after the collision, but police cleared the scene and normal flow resumed within an hour.
No injuries were reported among other road users, and the lorry driver’s quick reaction, although ultimately resulting in a secondary impact, prevented further casualties. Authorities have not disclosed whether mechanical failure, road surface condition or rider error contributed to the loss of control, pending the outcome of the ongoing investigation.
The incident adds to a series of recent traffic fatalities involving motorcyclists in the capital, prompting calls from transport officials for stricter enforcement of speed limits and rider safety measures on elevated sections of the road network. Police reiterated that any person with information about the crash should come forward to aid the investigation.
