JERTIH, January 3 - A 13-year-old male student died after the motorcycle he was riding collided with another motorcycle in Kampung Bukit Jeruk in Jabi, last night.

Acting Besut District Police Chief, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Md Sani Md Saleh said the victim is believed to have suffered serious injuries to his body while the other motorcyclist was also seriously injured.

"The accident occurred at about 7.10 last night causing the victim to die at the scene.
