Total standstill on NSE northbound after two box vans overturn near Kuala Kangsar

A severe accident has caused a total standstill on the northbound lanes of the North-South Expressway (NSE) near Kuala Kangsar in Perak, Malaysia. Two box vans collided, rolling onto their sides and completely blocking the highway at KM257.7, between the Menora Tunnel and Kuala Kangsar. As of 9:18 am, northbound traffic has come to a complete halt, resulting in a 1.7km long congestion queue.

The Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) has reported the incident, but it remains unclear if any individuals have sustained injuries. Emergency response teams and recovery machinery are currently present at the scene, working diligently to clear the obstructed lanes and restore normal traffic flow. Due to the severity of the crash, motorists are strongly advised to expect significant delays, exercise extreme caution when approaching the affected area, or consider utilizing alternative routes to avoid the area altogether.
