Lorry driver cheats death in landslide
JALAN Kuala Kangsar-Taiping has been closed to all traffic following a landslide at 10am yesterday.
Kuala Kangsar police chief Supt Zakaria Pagan said a lorry driver cheated death when he was caught by the landslide at Bukit Berapit, near Kuala Kangsar.
The lorry driver, in his 40s, made a miraculous escape after his lorry was swept away by the landslide.
"The landslide happened so fast it was such a shock. The lorry was swept to the North-South highway next to the Federal road. The weather was fine at that time," he added.
