SELANGOR - A 53-year-old man fell to his death from a bridge after a cow suddenly kicked his motorcycle near a farm in Selangor, Malaysia.
On July 5, farm workers found the severely injured man in a river near the farm in Kerling, Hulu Selangor, which is in the north-eastern part of the state of Selangor.
