Fallen trees hit six vehicles in Selangor, no casualties reported

Selangor experienced five incidents of fallen trees impacting six vehicles from yesterday afternoon until last night, with no casualties reported, according to the Selangor Fire and Rescue Department. The first incident occurred at 4:40pm in Rawang, where a tree belonging to the Selayang Municipal Council fell onto three vehicles - a Hyundai Santa Fe, Proton Iriz, and Perodua Axia.

The Batu Arang Fire and Rescue Station arrived promptly at 4:54pm, deploying four personnel and a Fire Rescue Tender (FRT). The second incident happened at 5:05pm in Persiaran Indera Wawasan, Puchong, when a tree fell onto a Toyota Vios. The Puchong Fire and Rescue Station responded at 5:14pm, with seven personnel involved and operations concluded within a minute.

A third incident was reported at 5:10pm on the Kerinchi Link Expressway via a Threads user's post, though further details were unavailable as the Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department hadn't received a report yet. Two more incidents unfolded in the evening: at 6:44pm, a Honda CR-V in Taman Desa Rawang was struck by a fallen branch, and at 6:49pm, a Proton Saga in Puchong was hit by a tree.

Both incidents were addressed by respective fire and rescue teams, with no casualties reported. The five incidents collectively affected six vehicles, though the total number of vehicles affected remains unverified.
