KUALA LUMPUR: One person was killed, and four badminton players, including World Number 1 Japanese shuttler Kento Momota, were injured in a crash on the Maju Expressway (Mex Highway) here, this morning.

The deceased was the driver of the van in which Momota and his fellow shuttlers were travelling, according to a Bernama alert.

The KL Fire and Rescue Department is currently at the scene.

Momota was in KL for the Malaysia Masters tournament, which he handily won last night.

Sounds like not seat belt.

Was the driver at fault? Really facepalm news..

Fffuu rip

IKR

Cheapskate pny organizer

Ya M’sia driver drive like gangster

walau they accident all blame malaysia

accident can choose one meh

Revoke bon samurai or raise the interest ... owai ... habislah LGE if really happen

Seeing the pic. Van hit big ass lorry.

Its kind of obvious dont you think?

High speed = no sleepy. Keeps u awake

The other 3 injury more serious, broken hand, leg injury. The BWF official need stiches on head & leg injury.

Momota kena face only.

https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2020...ndergo-ct-scans

Mex road really awful right now unlike few years ago where it is better maintained, the road now is really uneven, and the new pavement is done poorly

Bad news for PLUS user after this MEX owner will buy PLUS

U nail it bro 😂

broken nose and fractured cheekbone is not really 'only'.

At least still can play on Indon Open.
Just not so handsome for now.

How the hell can accident like this? Lorry parked by the side of highway?

Dont think Momota will be playing Indonesia Open.
Better he focus on recovery and go for All England.

It's not container lorry. It's a trash truck. Not the one that goes round your house. The other kind.

It doesnt involve the body parts he really needs to play badminton - arms, legs, eyes.

If you read The Star article, the other 3 more serious -> face & leg injury, head & leg injury, hand broken.

Don't think he is so pondan

Still can play.

Hand leg not injured.

When is Indonesia Open? Dont think Park Joo Bong will allow him to play. PJB still chief coach for Japan right ?

RIP..hope everyone else is ok

charted vans in Msia tak boleh pakai one, from my own experience la at least... we hired a van and supposed to pick us up at 4.30, but the driver was late bout 40mins, so drive like crazy to catch up with time... after that got audacity to ask for tips saying he got us to airport on time...

Why cannot play? Don't think momota is so pondan

DAIHATSU INDONESIA MASTERS 2020
14 - 19 JANUARY
ISTORA SENAYAN, JAKARTA, INDONESIA
PRIZE MONEY USD 400,000

Most important these vans got seat belts?

Especially those ferrying school kids. Got seat belt?

Omg kesian

He has already withdrawn from Indonesia Open before the accident. Last Thurs"s news :

Btw, he played Msia Open with ankle injury. This is Olympic year, need be more careful since he already hv enough ranking points.

Yupyupyup keep condeming,

Dont have time to read all the comment , waiting someone to say

"As a Malaysian, i feel shame to have blablablabla "
It's a car accident and people dont follow speed limit (way below limit or above limit)
