He said the accident involved a car driven by a local man and a male pedestrian believed to be between 50 and 60 years old.
“The accident occurred when the pedestrian suddenly crossed the road and was in the middle of the second lane from the right after the ELITE Expressway interchange, heading from Klang towards Damansara, before being struck by a car travelling straight along the lane,” said Ramsay.
He confirmed the collision resulted in the pedestrian dying at the scene.
The identity of the deceased has yet to be established and efforts to trace it are ongoing.
