A 28-year-old cyclist, Low Beng Seng, lost his life after colliding with a car during a cycling event in Langkawi on Saturday morning, 6 September 2025.
The incident occurred at about 8.30 am along Jalan Kuala Muda, where Low was riding as part of the 68-kilometre Eagle Ride group under the Langkawi Legendary Ride (LLR).
He was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering severe head injuries, according to BERNAMA.
How the Collision Happened
Langkawi police chief Assistant Commissioner Shariman Ashari said initial investigations revealed the accident occurred when Low attempted to avoid another cyclist.
