According to the timestamp on the dashcam footage, the tragic accident occurred at 6.41pm in the bridge's emergency lane, heading towards Seberang Perai.

The motorcyclist, who was critically injured in the collision, succumbed to his injuries despite receiving medical attention, reported Sin Chew Daily.

In the process, the motorcyclist, who was approaching from behind, failed to brake in time and collided with the left side of the car.

The force of the impact sent the rider and the motorcycle crashing into the bridge's guardrail, with the rider almost falling into the sea.

Several pointed out the timing and suddenness of the car driver's attempt to turn to the emergency parking area on the left, which some argue left the motorcyclist with little time to brake or evade the vehicle.

Others speculated about the driver's decision to park in the emergency area of the bridge, suggesting that if it was to take a photo of the scenic view, it was unnecessary and contributed to the fatal outcome.

However, the exact circumstances leading up to the accident remain unclear.

According to the uploader, she has shared the dashcam footage with the authorities. However, they have yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
