Two people were killed after a 10-tonne lorry carrying a load of tar toppled onto a Perodua Alza carrying a family of four near Tabika Kemas Kampung Sri Wangi, along Jalan Yong Peng, on Sunday.
The accident occurred at around 12.24pm, claiming the lives of the Alza’s 46-year-old male driver and a 40-year-old female passenger.
Operation commander Senior Fire Officer I Mohamad Alif Halim said both victims were trapped inside the vehicle following a collision involving the Alza and a 10-tonne Hino lorry.
“The 30-year-old male lorry driver also sustained injuries. Two children, aged eight and 11, were also inside the Perodua Alza and suffered minor injuries,” he said in a statement.
The injured victims were handed over to Health Ministry personnel for further treatment, while the bodies of the two deceased were handed over to the police.
