A lorry driver, Md Asmawi Alias, has been fined RM9,000 for causing an eight-vehicle collision on the North-South Expressway in Batu Pahat earlier this month.

The conviction was endorsed on his driving license. The court found that Md Asmawi had driven without due care and attention, causing the chain reaction collision.
