No steering malfunction in FRU truck crash, says report


PETALING JAYA: There is no evidence that the crash which killed nine Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) members in Perak last month was caused by a malfunctioning steering unit in the tipper lorry that had rammed into the truck carrying the police personnel.

A preliminary report on the government’s investigation found that the tipper lorry was in good physical and technical condition, but the vehicle had been moving with a heavier load than what is legally permissible.
