The van driver said he was travelling in the extreme left lane when an unknown vehicle tried to enter his lane from the right.

He jammed on the brake to avoid the vehicle but his van ended up skidding to the right, where it crashed into a motorcycle.

The motorcyclist suffered internal body injuries and was unconscious. His pillion rider sustained abrasions and leg injuries.

Both were taken to National University Hospital where the motorcyclist died later the same evening.
