Take note, all who are planning to travel outstation today. An accident between a tanker and a trailer happened this morning at KM319.6 northbound between Tapah and Gopeng. This is a two-lane stretch, and as of 3.35 pm, all northbound lanes are still closed to traffic.
While a contraflow lane has been activated (KM318.7 to KM320.6) – one southbound lane is being used for northbound traffic, and the southbound emergency lane is now being used – PLUS is reporting a massive 10 km jam northbound, and a 9 km crawl southbound. This is as of 3.35 pm.
It’s a massive operation to remove the wreckage of the two big lorries, and they’ve been at it since the accident happened at 7+am today. If you plan to head back to your hometown for CNY today, plan your journey. Federal Route 1 is sure to be bumper-to-bumper as well, so check for the latest updates. Drive safe.

Heavy vehicles are the major contributor of traffic jams on highway these days.
They should only be allowed to travel at certain window time, example 8pm till 6am.
Yea…Next time your shopee and lazada items takes longer time to arrive OR your balik kampung trip at night time becomes nightmare, remember what you suggested.
or cargo should only be transported by train
heavy and long vehicle travel too fast nowadays….they should stay at 90 km/h to be safe….lower than 70km/h…make traffic crawl and jam..
Come to Klang area…those container lorry speed faster than you can drive. At times, they are faster than our “king of the road myvi”. Very very dangerous driving. And sometimes, they just turn corner with don’t care attitude. They know that if they hit you, it’s nothing much to them. But your car will be bad damaged or totaled. Worst, you may end up losing your limb or life!
