The man, aged 45, from RumahTukau in Sungai Ga’at was riding along the road when the machine crashed into the 4WD driven by a 47-year-old man.
No other details about the accident was available.
However, it was known that the driver of the 4WD driver was being treated at Kapit Hospital and his condition was reported to be stable.
