Prolintas has announced the reopening of the Elmina interchange at the Guthrie Corridor Expressway (GCE) following yesterday’s plane crash tragedy. The reopened route involves the entrance ramp from Shah Alam to Elmina West as well as the entrance ramp to Elmina East from Rawang, along the exit ramp to Shah Alam.
The highway concessionaire noted in its release that one of the two lanes of the road from Elmina West to Rawang is still closed as authorities continue to carry out investigations at the scene of the incident, but road users will still be able to access the GCE.
It also said its operations team has been to the incident to observe the damage as well as carry out immediate road repairs. The fire and rescue department has carried out street cleaning earlier.
According to transport minister Anthony Loke, the ill-fated private jet crashed at 2.51pm on its way to a scheduled landing at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang after departing from Langkawi. The crash claimed the lives of six plane passengers, two crew members and two road users.

my deepest condolences to family of crash victim. sad…
Highway tarred road good quality, no impact crater.

hi Gerald/ Paultan members. since we are touching on the road and its safety. could you also write an article to educate the road users if they are involved in minor accident, just move their cars to the side safely if possible. many times i see drivers just pull over their cars on the fast lane (a few times on LDP) and take their time to make calls and negotiate and take photos. not care about the jam they are causing especially at peak hours. most the time all their cars only have minor dents and can drive per normal. Ppl just need to be more sensitive and considerate towards other users. Perhaps JPJ should also give them a ticket for causing traffic jams unnecessarily.
since when plane crash has to do with road safety? the article wasn’t touching anything on road safety. you know how to read or not? or just know how to twist and turn?
