Teenage boy dies performing dangerous 'wheelie' on motorcycle
The stunt caused him to collide with another motorcycle, fall onto the road and be struck in the head by a third bike.
BANDAR PERMAISURI - A 15-year-old boy died after performing a dangerous stunt on his motorcycle in Kampung Pelong, Sungai Tong, last night.
Setiu police chief Supt Mohd Zain Mat Dris said the accident occurred at 6.45pm and two other motorcyclists, aged 15 and 14, escaped unharmed.
"Preliminary investigations indicate the victim, a Form Three student on a Honda C100, was performing a wheelie, a stunt where the front wheel is lifted off the ground," he said in a statement today.
The stunt caused him to collide with another motorcycle, fall onto the road and be struck in the head by a third bike, he added.
The victim was taken to Klinik Kesihatan Sungai Tong, where he was pronounced dead during treatment. His body was later sent to the Forensic Unit at Setiu Hospital for an autopsy.
"Teenagers should not engage in stunts that endanger themselves or others and parents are advised to closely monitor their children to prevent them from riding vehicles without a licence,” he cautioned. - BERNAMA
