KUALA LUMPUR: An armoured vehicle transporter owned by the Malaysian Armed Forces overturned following an accident on the Kuala Lumpur-Karak (KLK) Highway Thursday (Nov 7) afternoon.

Chief of Defence Force Gen Tan Sri Mohammad Ab Rahman said that the transporter, which was carrying two Adnan armoured vehicles from a unit based in Mentakab, Pahang, was en route to Gemas, Negri Sembilan for training when the accident occurred at 4.48pm.

"The cause of the accident is still under investigation. However, no injuries to personnel or the public were reported. The trailer was damaged," he told Bernama.
