PORT DICKSON – A man was killed and six teenagers were injured in a collision between a  Honda Civic dan Toyota Unser at Kilometre 13.8 Jalan Seremban-Port Dickson near the intersection at Kampung Batu 7 Sungai Sendayan, yesterday.

Port Dickson deputy police chief Muhamad Mustafah Hussin said the crash, which occurred at 10.40pm, killed Phoon Swee Long, 41, who was at the wheel of the Honda Civic. He died on the spot.

He said four of the six teenagers, all of them aged 19, suffered  serious head and body injuries, while the other two suffered slight leg injuries.
