THREE people were killed after a car rammed into a crane in Jalan Syed Putra, Bukit Seputeh, Kuala Lumpur early this morning.

Operations commander K. Segar said 10 firefighters from the Hang Tuah fire and rescue station rushed to the scene after receiving a distress call at 3.46am.

“Upon arrival, the firemen learnt that a Proton Saga had crashed into the rear of a crane that was parked on the road shoulder,” he said.

“The driver of the car was pinned in his seat and had to be extricated.

“Two safety workers who were on duty to guard the crane died of serious injuries.”

Segar said the bodies were handed over to the police for further action. – Bernama, March 19, 2023.
