Two separate accidents were reported along the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) towards Shah Alam on Tuesday night, causing severe traffic congestion.
One incident, which has gone viral on social media, involved a trailer believed to have crashed into an elevated highway structure and an advertising billboard, while an excavator was found overturned on the road.
Videos shared by motorists showed sections of the structure’s barriers and billboard damaged and hanging loose, with debris scattered across the road.
The footage also showed a container trailer positioned beneath the elevated structure, with an overturned excavator lying nearby.
A Threads user, @fazrilhaikal, claimed the incident was caused by a trailer carrying an excavator that exceeded the permitted height limit.
“The trailer carrying the excavator hit the elevated structure because it exceeded the height limit,” the user alleged.
Another Threads user, @fdausrosol, said they were shocked after witnessing the incident.
“I was so shocked. Thankfully, no cars or motorcycles were hit. Oh my God,” the user wrote.
Meanwhile, Threads user @firdaus0688 urged motorists to exercise caution when passing through the area, warning that debris could still fall onto the road.
“NKVE towards Klang, the LRT structure was hit by an oversized load. Be careful if you’re passing through, as there is a risk of more concrete debris falling,” the user said.
In a separate update, Astro Radio Traffic reported on Facebook at 8.17pm that an accident had occurred at KM14.0 of the NKVE, causing congestion from Kota Damansara towards Shah Alam.
The report said both the left and right lanes were blocked, disrupting traffic flow along the expressway.
As of now, the actual cause of the incidents and whether anyone was injured have yet to be confirmed.
