BUTTERWORTH – Traffic has returned to normal along the North-South Expressway after the debris from a road accident this morning was cleared by the highway concessionaire PLUS Expressways Bhd.
The last piece of debris from the collision was removed at noon.
This morning, road users were stuck in a traffic crawl for at least five hours, especially between the Sg Dua toll plaza and Bertam here.
The trailer laden with sand had overturned around 5am but due to low visibility, three vehicles trailing it rammed into its side.
Police did not indicate whether there were major injuries sustained by the drivers, but the trailer driver was sent to Seberang Jaya Hospital for treatment.
PLUS was forced to divert traffic to the southbound lane to ease congestion on the northbound lane. – The Vibes, June 23, 2022
