Panic as trailer rams into five vehicles along Jalan Klang-Banting
District police chief Superintendent Mohd Akmalrizal Radzi said the incident occurred at around 12.15pm when the trailer driver lost control of his vehicle and ploughed into the rear of another trailer and four other vehicles.
"The four other vehicles involved were a Proton X90, Proton Persona, Proton Gen2, and a Toyota Alphard.
"Investigations showed the vehicles had stopped to give way to the Proton Gen2, which was attempting to enter a parking space along the road shoulder, when the incident occurred," he said in a statement today.
He added that no injuries were reported and all the vehicle owners have lodged police reports and had their statements recorded.
"The trailer driver, in his 40s, holds a valid driving licence and tested negative for drugs.
"We have seized the trailer and will send it for technical inspection as part of our investigation into the cause of the accident," he said.
Akmalrizal said the case is being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for driving without due care or attention.
