Terrifying video footage captured a dramatic incident where a runaway tipper truck collided with a garbage truck and cars while running through a set of traffic lights in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. The accident occurred on a Tuesday morning when the out-of-control lorry lost its grip while descending a hill, according to local authorities. A dashcam recording shows the moment the traffic light changed to green, signaling the movement of a garbage truck and multiple vehicles.

The footage reveals the tipper lorry approaching at high speed from the left, crashing into the vehicles with significant force. The collision resulted in severe damage to the front section of the garbage truck and scattered mud and debris on the road. The Selangor Fire and Rescue Department responded promptly to the incident after being alerted at 9:07 am and arrived within nine minutes. Officials reported that the crash involved a tipper lorry, a garbage truck, and two Perodua Myvi cars.

Upon initial assessment, rescue teams found three injured male foreign nationals and a 34-year-old woman involved in the collision. All four individuals were safely extracted from their vehicles before the arrival of emergency responders and were subsequently transferred to medical personnel for further care. Subsequent police investigations confirmed a total of six injured individuals, including the local 35-year-old driver of the tipper lorry. One victim was identified to have sustained a broken leg. Law enforcement authorities detained the lorry driver for questioning and launched an inquiry into the incident.

In a separate incident earlier this year, a lorry was reported to have swerved across a motorway central reservation, narrowly avoiding a collision with oncoming traffic. An eyewitness, Peter Stone, narrowly escaped the potential crash while driving his Porsche 911 between junctions 28 and 29 in Devon. Stone, a father of two, managed to maneuver his vehicle just in time to avoid the oncoming lorry, preventing a catastrophic accident. Stone described the sudden encounter as a challenging situation but expressed relief that no serious injuries occurred following the incident.
