Raya rush: Breakdowns, crashes choke major highways


KUALA LUMPUR: A series of vehicle breakdowns and accidents caused slow-moving traffic along the North-South Expressway (NSE), Kuala Lumpur–Karak Expressway (KLK) and East Coast Expressway Phase 1 (LPT1) on Friday evening, as post-Hari Raya traffic volume surged.

PLUS Malaysia Berhad, in a post via its X account (@PLUSTrafik), reported that a lorry broke down at KM222.9 southbound from Changkat Jering to Kuala Kangsar at 4.13pm. The left lane was blocked, though traffic was still under control at the time. Towing efforts were underway by 4.30pm, but traffic remained slow.
