In a separate incident, a pedestrian and motorcyclist were reported to have been killed following a collision at Jalan UMS, near Kampung Rampayan near here yesterday.It was also learned that a grandchild of the 54-year-old pedestrian and the wife of the motorcyclist, aged 42, were injured in the accident.
