GEORGE TOWN: Motorists got caught in a bad traffic jam when a trailer carrying more than 40 tonnes of cement got stuck along the hilly Paya Terubong Road near here.
The driver had apparently tried to reverse when he was unable to ascend the hill but the trailer was stuck across both lanes when the front wheels got wedged at the gutter along the side of the road.
