TRUE
Police are investigating an incident involving a trailer truck that allegedly crashed into three vehicles that were improperly parked at the Overhead Ayer Keroh Rest and Service area.
Alor Gajah police chief Supt Ahmad Abu Bakar, when contacted, confirmed the incident, adding that the investigation is being handled by the Bukit Aman Highway Investigation Unit.
"Further investigation into the accident, involving a heavy vehicle truck and three private cars, is ongoing," he said.

Bystanders could also be seen trying to move the parked vehicles out of the way.
