KUALA LUMPUR: A man was killed when a skidding car crashed into him while he was filling up his car with petrol at a petrol station in Taman Midah, Jalan Cheras, here, Sunday night.

City traffic police investigation and prosecution division head DSP Abdullah Roning said in the 10.30pm incident, the injured driver, Mohd Yusri Abdul Wahab, was taken to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Hospital where he died at 2.15am from head injuries.

He said Mohd Yusri, 32, was filling up his Proton Iswara with petrol when a skidding Hyundai Getz crashed into him.
