JEMPOL, An 85-year-old man riding an electric bicycle died in a collision with a car at Kilometre 5 of Jalan Bahau-Kemayan, here yesterday.

“Upon reaching the location, an elderly man on an electric bicycle suddenly appeared from the left, in front of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bahau 2, attempting to cross to the right side towards Taman Sri Mahsan.
