PETALING JAYA: Two Singaporean bikers died while four others sustained serious injuries after a lorry ran into their convoy near Yong Peng, Johor, early this morning.
Batu Pahat police chief Ismail Dollah said police were alerted to the incident, which happened at Km114 of the North-South Expressway (northbound) at about 3am.
According to Sinar Harian, Ismail said the eight-motorcycle convoy was travelling from Singapore to Pagoh, Muar, for sahur.
