PETALING JAYA: Two people were killed and two others injured in a collision involving two lorries, at Km372.1 of the North-South Expressway (southbound) near Slim River, Perak, today.
Perak fire and rescue department assistant director (operations) Sabarodzi Nor Ahmad said they were informed about the crash at about noon, Bernama reported.
A team from the Slim River fire and rescue station was sent to the scene, 10km away.
Four people – a driver and three assistants – were in one of the lorries, transporting eggs, which crashed into the rear of a trailer lorry loaded with cement, parked by the road shoulder.
Sabarodzi said the duo, both in their 20s, were thrown out from the lorry and died at the scene.
The other two, aged 40 and 30, sustained minor injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
It took nearly two hours to clear the road, causing traffic congestion.
