An unidentified vehicle from the opposite direction entered the victim’s lane while overtaking another vehicle, forcing him to swerve to the left shoulder and collide with a stationary Mitsubishi ASX.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and his body was sent to the Forensic Unit of Duchess of Kent Hospital (HDOK) here for a post-mortem.

Police are investigating the case under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 and urging witnesses to provide any information.
