A WOMAN had a close shave after a part of tower crane fell off a trailer and hit her car on Jalan SS2/24, Petaling Jaya, yesterday.

Petaling Jaya police chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said in the 5.45pm incident, the 25-year-old victim was driving home in her Perodua Myvi car.

“When she was driving at the location, suddenly a part of tower crane fell off the trailer and hit her car.

“Following the impact, the roof, windscreen and several other parts of the car were damaged but the victim escaped with no injuries,” he said in a statement.

Nik Ezanee said the accident occurred after a part of the tower crane knocked into two telephone poles, causing them to come down into the road.

He said the woman lodged a police report but the driver of the trailer has yet to do so.

“Members of the public rushed to the location to provide first aid to the victim and help control the traffic situation.

“We are investigating under Section 19 of the Road Traffic Rules 166/59, as the cargo carried on the trailer has fallen and caused an accident,” he said. – Bernama, September 20, 2020.
