Two Teenagers Killed, Another Critically Injured in Three-Motorcycle Crash in Kuala Nerus

KUALA LUMPUR, JULY 2026 – Two teenagers were killed while another was critically injured in a collision involving three motorcycles at Jalan Kampung Pecah Rotan, Batu Rakit, on Sunday, July 19, 2026.

The crash, which occurred at approximately 6.30pm, claimed the lives of 17-year-old Muhamad Hazim Mohd Zawawi and 14-year-old Muhammad Rifqi Rayyan Abdul Rahim. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene after suffering severe injuries.

Muhamad Hazim was working as a food stall assistant, while Muhammad Rifqi Rayyan was a student at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Batu Rakit.

Kuala Terengganu district police chief Assistant Commissioner Azli Mohd Noor said another motorcyclist, Muhammad Harris Iman Fadillah, 15, sustained critical injuries in the crash.

He was taken to Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah in Kuala Terengganu and is receiving treatment in the intensive care unit.

Preliminary investigations found that Muhammad Harris was riding a Honda EX5 from Kampung Pecah Rotan towards Kampung Kubur Timah when his motorcycle was struck from behind by a SYM BX110 ridden by Muhamad Hazim.

The impact caused the Honda EX5 to lose control and enter the opposite lane before colliding with a Yamaha Ego Avantiz ridden by Muhammad Rifqi Rayyan, who was travelling from Batu Rakit towards Kampung Pecah Rotan.

The collision resulted in fatal injuries to Muhamad Hazim and Muhammad Rifqi Rayyan, while Muhammad Harris was rushed to hospital in critical condition.

The bodies of both victims were taken to the forensic unit at Hospital Sultan Zainal Abidin for further examination and post-mortem procedures.

Police investigations also found that none of the three teenage motorcyclists possessed a valid driving licence.
