He said an initial investigation found that all the vehicles were travelling from Meru towards Tambun when the accident occurred.
“Two male motorcyclists, aged 19 and 20, were pronounced dead at the scene after sustaining serious injuries, while another 19-year-old victim was pronounced dead at Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital.
“Nine other male motorcyclists, aged between 19 and 25, sustained injuries of undetermined severity and were taken to the hospital for treatment,” he said in a statement.
