Another overturn in Georgetown

A second truck mounted overturn in Georgetown, Malaysia this week resulting in the death of a motorcyclist.

The incident occurred earlier today when a telescopic truck mounted lift repairing street lamps lost its balance causing the boom to come down across a main road. A woman on a motorcycle, Che Fatimah Ishak, 50, crashed into the boom and died at the scene. The operator and a co-worker sustained non-life threatening injuries in the incident.
