PETALING JAYA: A lorry driver lost control of his vehicle before it collided with seven other vehicles along Jalan Puteri 2/1, Bandar Puteri, Puchong on Thursday (Jan 8). Serdang OCPD Asst Comm Muhamad Farid Ahmad said the incident occurred at 1.44pm Thursday when the lorry reportedly suffered brake failure after exiting a construction site, before heading towards Puchong town centre. As a result of the loss of control, the vehicle hit two cars that were stopped at a traffic light and five others parked nearby. “Urine screening tests on the lorry driver returned negative, and all vehicle owners involved have lodged police reports,” he said in a statement. The case is being investigated under Rule 10 LN166/59 (Traffic Rules) for careless driving or failing to control a vehicle.
