KAJANG: A Sessions Court judge was injured in a three-car pile-up along the Grand Saga highway, while travelling to work.
She was travelling with her husband to the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex, Jalan Duta when their vehicle crashed into the back of a car, which had been involved in an earlier accident on the highway at 7.37am yesterday.
Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Willey Richard said that the highway was clear at the time of the incident, although it was still dark. The accidents occurred just metres from the Grand Saga toll plaza.
“She was travelling behind the car and another vehicle, when the car suddenly rammed the rear of the other vehicle.
“Her husband may not have been able to avoid the accident in time and crashed into the back of the said car,” he said.
She had a broken left arm, while her husband and the drivers of the other two cars escaped without injury.
She was taken to the Kajang Hospital for treatment. The case is being investigated for careless driving.
On a separate matter, ACP Willey said the police were still looking for the Indonesian man who commandeered a ghost lorry that went out of control and killed two Form One students in Balakong last month.
He said a task force had been formed to track the suspect, who was detained by members of the public, but managed to slip away before the police arrived at the scene outside SMK Bandar Damai Perdana.
“Immigration records show that he has not left the country, but he may have slipped back to Indonesia illegally. We are still tracking him,” he said.
ACP Willey said the man had moved from Pahang to Kajang about a week prior to the tragedy and is believed to have gone to the construction site just up the hill from the school to apply for a job.
It is still unclear why the man took the lorry, which the police said was parked about a kilometre up the road from the school.
