On September 25, a couple narrowly escaped injury when their lorry rolled into a ravine caused by a landslide near Sungai Deka Elephant Conservation Centre in Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia. The incident occurred around 3:40 pm while the husband and wife, aged 57 and 55, were en route from their home in Ajil to Kuala Krai, Kelantan, to gather fruit supplies, according to Kuala Lumpur police superintendent Sharudin Abdul Wahab.
Upon reaching the location, they noticed the landslide and promptly stopped their vehicle to assess the situation. Unfortunately, their lorry then tumbled into the collapsed section of the road, likely due to brake failure. The front and rear portions of the lorry sustained significant damage. Sharudin confirmed that the area had been officially designated as restricted for vehicle access following the landslide.
Police are collecting the driver's statement to aid their investigation under Section 79(2) of the Road Transport Act 1987. The couple had reportedly been traveling to Kuala Krai to collect fruit supplies for their residence in Ajil when the mishap unfolded.
