City Traffic Investigation and Enforcement chief Asst Comm Zulkefly Yahya said that the motorcyclist was injured following the collision Sunday morning.

“Early investigations showed that the driver had tried to overtake the victim along Jalan Pahang. However the car was too near, which led to the collision.
