Another lorry crash has occurred this morning, this time on the North-South expressway from Simpang Renggam to Machap.
The earliest official report from the PLUS Trafik X/Twitter channel states that the incident occurred at 8:09am, at KM69.5 northbound from Simpang Renggam to Machap, resulting in the obstruction of all lanes at the time. As of 11:01am, PLUS Trafik stated that all northbound lanes remained obstructed, with relocation works underway. Contraflow traffic has been activated from KM72 to KM69 on the right-hand-side lane of the southbound side of the highway.
According to handheld video on X/Twitter, a passenger car involved was carrying three occupants, while a motorcyclist was also involved and has died at the scene. At the time, the alleged cause of the incident was a blowout of the lorry’s tyre, causing the lorry to go out of control.
Today’s lorry crash involving other passenger vehicles comes after a prior incident in Bukit Mertajam, Penang, where a container lorry was depicted taking an intersection at speed, and the container on its trailer dislodged and fell on a car stopped in traffic at the intersection. The 21-year-old driver of the passenger vehicle succumbed to her injuries.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Container trailers and express buses speeding dangerously and tailgating smaller vehicles even at 120km/h is a daily occurrence on all our highways, but JPJ does nothing because semua dah kenyang. Our “most useless MOT in the country since Merdeka” has absolutely no intention to enforce any rules and is only interested in selling number plates.
Road bullies with fully pitch-black window tints are also becoming a common occurrence now.
All these criminals are indebted to the useless MOT for enabling their daily shenanigans to continue unfettered.
All heavy vehicles should have max speed permanently restricted to 60km/h. Drivers can’t be trusted to drive safely
I guess Minister Loke will again say suspension of permit. However that won’t make anybody learn. You need to put the driver and owner in jail, only then all will learn in placing safety as no.1 priority. Imagine this – what if the deceased is your family member? Don’t just busy sell number plates BUT think of how to reduce accidents especially those involved heavy vehicles and with fatalities.
Owner as well ? By your logic might as well put the lorry factory boss in jail as well. Weapons don’t kill, it’s the user.
Owner means the lorry company boss, not necessary onwer of the vehicle
putting someone in jail involves police and courts. transport minister alone don’t have the power
Cause of crash…Possible reasons
1.Mechanical failure of lorry
2.Driver microsleep
3.Driver high on dadah 4.Driver distracted,playing handphone
Now 2 crashes in 2 days involving container lorries..ahlokekor and co will be running all over to do damage control..but affer a couple of weeks,everything will be biasa je…
Dont expect any improvement.Things will only get worse.
Your labubu plush toy ordered during 11.11 will never be delivered to you. Take note to cancel order and request refund.
Reading your comment make us wanna puke. Stop sniffing glue and write.
Lokechatgor busy selling number plates and not doing anything else. He must be a former pasar malam trader or VCD seller because he has no administrative know-how and only knows how to sell number plates.
Here we have seasons that something happens quite offten frequently like sink holes once then every time all around Malaysia then now season is lorry can’t ctrl and we Rakyat become victims , lorries simply can’t overturn there r reasons specially driver not well trained (major reason)r a b c and X y z
How many accident involving heavy vehicle needed before Anthony Loke and JPJ take action against logistic company who allows drivers with outstanding saman and old lorry drive around?
My older brother said he got a friend who are bus driver said all lorry and bus in Malaysia is used 15-20 years ago model when those transport company bought them, because new model same price as house.
When those bus and lorry hit 40 years old, they will be sold as scrapped
The use of retread tyre should be banned entirely even if it is for rear lorry used.
Honda Civic occupants survived the crash. that’s a testament of how safe Honda cars especially the Civic.
takziah kepada keluarga mangsa. syarikat pengangkutan, perlu bertanggungjawab keatas kemalangan sedemikian. kenderaan berat ini berkuasa tinggi dan mampu membinasakan ciri ciri keselamatan lebuhraya. oleh itu syarikat pengangkutan mesti memastikan pemandu yang cekap dan berdisiplin sahaja di amanahkan tanggungjawab ini. tidak boleh salahkan pemandu sahaja dalam kes sedemikian.
satu soalan, kenapa syarikat minyak atau syarikat pengangkutan minyak jarang berlaku kemalangan. dalam pengalaman saya berinteraksi dengan pemandu lori tangki shell, mereka berdisiplin dan berfikiran matang. seperti abang yang share berkenaan blind spot lori tangki yang muncul di laman ini, mereka mahir dalam pemanduan dan berdisiplin.
lax laws…tulah
when you are within/close to cars involved in crash … do not smoke… your never know when or where the leak will catch the little heat from the cigarette
crack down on puspakom, the root to the problem. ordinary lorry owners need to test three times only can pass, runners can do it in one single time
Disiplin pemandu lori kontena dgn lori tangki sgt berbeza. Kita blh lihat bagaimana pemandu lori tangki (petroleum) sgt cermat & berdisiplin bila memandu.
The civic rammed like sardine can quality only. This car got safety or not? Suspension problem, engine oil dilution problem, CVT problem, now also sardine can? Please explain
