Cops confirm 4 deaths linked to RXZ motorsports event
Police have received four reports of fatal accidents involving those attending the the RXZ Members 7.0 motorsports event in Terengganu, says federal traffic police chief Yusri Hassan Basri.
The most recent death was that of a 36-year-old man who died after his motorcycle crashed into a trailer at about 9am at Km45 of the Gerik-Jeli highway, Berita Harian reported.
Another victim was Roslinawati Ramli, 33, from a Felda settlement in Pahang, whose motorcycle skidded on the East Coast Highway 2 near Kuala Terengganu while on her way to the event.
Her brother said Eyna Lee as she was known had been interested in motorcycling since she was a teenager, and had owned her own Yamaha RXZ motorcycle since she was 21 and often participated in motorcycle-related events.
“Only this time she was riding her husband’s RXZ,” he said.
