KUALA LUMPUR: 

An armoured vehicle transporter belonging to the armed forces overturned after it was involved in an accident on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Highway this afternoon.

Chief of defence forces Gen Mohammad Ab Rahman said the transporter, carrying two Adnan armoured vehicles from a unit based in Mentakab, Pahang, was on its way to Gemas, Negeri Sembilan, for training purposes when the accident happened at about 4.50pm.

“The cause of the accident is still under investigation. However, no injuries to personnel or the public were reported. The transporter was damaged,” he told Bernama.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) said in a Facebook post that the accident occurred at Km35.2 westbound from Genting Sempah to Gombak.

An LLM spokesman said both the westbound and eastbound right lanes were blocked after the accident.

“As of 8pm, there was a 3km traffic congestion in the westbound right lane and a 1km jam in the eastbound right lane. This is due to ongoing operations to remove the affected vehicles.” - FMT
