Traffic cop suffers head injuries after tent roof collapses

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 16 — A traffic policeman was injured after the roof of a tent, set up for a roadblock at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza here, collapsed due to strong winds, this evening.

Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department (JSPT) chief ACP Zulkefly Yahya said the policeman was taking shelter in the tent set up at the city centre entrance point when heavy rain and strong winds caused the roof of the tent to fall on the victim causing him to suffer head injuries in the 6pm incident yesterday.

“The victim who works at the JSPT Kuala Lumpur Traffic Control Division is currently receiving treatment at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital,” he told Bernama.

Zulkefly said the roadblock at the Jalan Duta Toll Plaza was mounted since October 14 when the conditional movement control order (CMCO) came into force in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Selangor.
