Yesterday (June 18), tragedy struck on the North-South Expressway as a Malaysian trader lost his life in a fatal collision involving a cow.
The incident happened at Kilometer 24.9, and the victim tragically passed away at the scene due to his injuries.
According to Berita Harian, the 30-year-old driver was in the rightmost lane when his vehicle collided with a stray cow, causing the car to veer off and crash into the central divider of the highway.
Assistant Commissioner Sarifudin Mohd Salleh, Chief of the Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department, confirmed the details.
“The car driver, a 30-year-old man, sustained severe injuries and died at the scene,” he said in a statement.
