Trailer carrying backhoe, container truck collide on NKVE [WATCH]

 

KUALA LUMPUR: A collision involving a trailer carrying a backhoe and a container truck along the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) towards Setia Alam left debris scattered across the carriageway, with motorists seen manoeuvring around the wreckage.

A New Straits Times check with the PlusLine hotline confirmed that the accident occurred at KM13.9 of the highway at about 7.15pm today.

The incident was also highlighted in a post on Threads by user fazrilhaikal, who claimed that the trailer had hit a flyover because the backhoe exceeded the height limit.

"The trailer carrying a backhoe hit the flyover because it exceeded the height limit," he wrote.

Other users raised questions about the circumstances of the collision, with one suggesting that a billboard might have been involved after noticing what appeared to be debris falling from above.

Another user, mrdhhmhmmd, said the incident reinforced their fear of driving alongside container trucks.

"An old fear proven right. I've always felt nervous driving alongside container trucks. This is exactly why," the user wrote.

Meanwhile, user auzaismail questioned whether anyone had been injured and whether the flyover had sustained structural damage.
