The elderly man was attempting a U-turn when he abruptly hit his brakes.
It was then that the motorcyclist crashed into his car and died on the spot.
Kuala Muda district police chief ACP Adzli Abu Shah told the Malay daily, "A 22-year-old on a motorcycle tried to avoid the man's Proton Saga but hit the rear end of the car. After that, two more motorcycles, one carrying the deceased victim and another rode by an 18-year-old, tried to avoid the car but crashed into its right side."
"Following that, a Perodua Viva driven by a 60-year-old man was also unable to avoid the accident and hit the right side of the car as well as the deceased victim."

"The Proton Saga driver and the 20-year-old escaped with no injuries. The 18-year-old died at the scene due to serious injuries while the rest sustained minor injuries."
