SHAH ALAM: An evening downpour left a trail of mud along the Kesas Highway, as a minor landslide and flash flood caused traffic to come to a crawl.

A highway spokesman said a slope along the Subang Jaya exit of the Kesas gave way at about 4.40pm yesterday and caused a portion of the side wall to collapse.
