KUANTAN (Bernama): A motorcycle convoy after the Aidilfitri celebrations turned into a tragedy when two of its members were killed after their machines grazed each other, causing them to fall in the path of an oncoming car along the Jengka 23 main road, Maran, near here Thursday (June 6) night.

Maran police chief DSP Norzamri Abd Rahman said the 10.15pm incident claimed the lives of Hamdan Mat, 47, and Mohammad Shahrizan Ahmad, 37.
