Three-year-old twins suffer minor injuries in lorry-SUV crash near Tapah


IPOH: A pair of three-year-old twin girls suffered minor injuries in a collision involving two vehicles at KM351.7 northbound of the North-South Expressway near Tapah on Tuesday (May 20).

Tapah OCPD Supt Johari Yahya said they received information at about 8am regarding the crash involving a limestone-laden container lorry and a sports utility vehicle (SUV).

"The lorry driver and the couple in the SUV were not hurt. Preliminary investigations found that the lorry, travelling from the north, suffered a burst tyre, causing the driver to lose control. The lorry skidded and overturned on the opposite lane," he said in a statement Tuesday.

The SUV, unable to avoid the lorry in time, collided with and was dragged along with it.

Meanwhile, PLUS posted on Facebook that a vehicle removal diversion is being carried out and advised motorists to exit via the Sungkai or Slim River Toll Plaza. - Bernama
