Five people safe after fallen tree hits two cars

SHAH ALAM, June 4 — Five people, including two children, had a harrowing ordeal when the cars they were travelling in were hit by a falling tree along Jalan Kapar Batu 6, Klang, near here today.

Selangor Fire and Rescue Department operations assistant director Ahmad Mukhlis Mokhtar said six firefighters and a fire engine from North Klang Fire and Rescue station were mobilised for the rescue operation after they received a distress call at 3.10pm.

Two cars were hit by the falling tree, one with a married couple and two children, while the other car was driven by a woman in her 40s, he said.

“All victims, including the two children, were unharmed and had exited their cars before firefighters arrived,” he said in a statement today.

Firefighters were cutting and removing the tree and debris, Mukhlis added.
