2 elderly gentlemen in an accident sadly passed away early this morning
Two senior men tragically lost their lives in an early morning incident at the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza along the North-South Highway (PLUS) in the capital. The fatal accident occurred when the vehicle they were travelling in collided with a toll lane divider, resulting in the death of both of them.
The incident took place at the Sungai Besi Toll Plaza, along the very busy North-South Highway, which sees a high volume of cars and other vehicles at all times, everyday. According to authorities, the two elderly men were in a vehicle when it veered off course and struck the toll lane divider.
Moreover, the impact of the collision was severe, leading to the immediate deaths of the passengers inside. Emergency services responded promptly to the scene, but unfortunately, the two men were pronounced dead in the accident. It is still unclear what the exact cause of the crash was, but investigations are ongoing to determine whether factors such as vehicle malfunction, driver error, or other circumstances contributed to the accident.
This tragic incident should highlight the importance of road safety and awareness, particularly in toll plazas where traffic can sometimes be congested or unpredictable. As investigations continue, we here at DSF want to remind all our readers to exercise caution and vigilance when approaching toll booths and when on the road in general.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the 2 victims and we hope that we do not see any more accidents like this for a while. Local traffic authorities are urging drivers to remain alert and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent similar accidents in the future, so please do so.
