Several trees fell in parts of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor due to downpours and strong winds, causing damage to roads and vehicles.
Berita Harian reported the Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department’s spokesperson as saying that its team received multiple distress calls from the public about the matter.
“We received information about four lorries being damaged by a fallen tree near a petrol station located on Old Klang Road.
“We also received reports of a similar incident near a UM hostel – where an uprooted tree fell on an electric pole and blocked the main road,” the spokesperson said.
The agency added that a similar incident was reported at TTDI.
