Man dies after being hit by Komuter train

SEREMBAN: A KTMB Komuter train hit a man, killing him instantly after he failed to see it coming from behind while he was walking on the tracks at the Senawang KTM station, here Saturday.

Seremban police chief ACP Saiful Azly Kamaruddin said the victim, Redzuan Yusof, 37, suffered fatal head and body injuries in the 9am incident.

"The driver sounded the horn several times as a warning, but to no avail. The Komuter train ended up ramming into the victim and sent him flying several metres away," he said when contacted here.

Saiful Azly said the driver immediately lodged a police report and a medical team arrived shortly after.

Police were investigating the cause of the incident and how the man managed to trespass onto the tracks, he added.

The body has been sent to the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital, here, for a post-mortem and will be handed over to the family for burial. - Bernama
