“It was believed that the lorry collided with a motorcycle before the lorry driver lost control and skidded into a guardrail. The impact of the collision had caused the victim to be thrown out of his vehicle and plunged from a seven-metre flyover. He suffered severe head and body injuries.
“Meanwhile, the motorcyclist, Roger Daniel James, 20, who is attached to the Northeast district police headquarters, also suffered severe head injuries and fractured his both legs,” he said in a statement today.
