Wangsa Maju district police chief Supt Ashari Abu Samah later said that the driver, a 32-year-old woman, had hit the barrier on the left lane under repair and fallen into the underground area.
“The initial investigation found an accident involving a Toyota Vios model car. Despite the collision, the driver and passenger were not injured.
“The victim’s car was towed out of the repair area,” he said in a statement today.
