A TRAILER lorry overturned at KM318.4 of the North-South Expressway (southbound) this afternoon, causing traffic congestion that stretched as far as seven kilometres.

Tapah district police chief Wan Azharuddin Wan Ismail said the accident occurred at 3.20pm after the driver of a lorry carrying gloves is believed to have lost control of the vehicle, causing it to skid across the road.

The 28-year-old driver, however, escaped unhurt.

“The lorry has been moved to the left lane of the highway and the right lane is opened to all vehicles,” Wan Azharuddin said in a statement. – Bernama, July 23, 2022.
