The incident was reported to the Gombak police around 11pm. Upon arrival, police and fire officials found that the collapse was caused by the failure of both the upper and lower slopes, as well as part of the road structure itself.

The Batu Arang Fire and Rescue Department confirmed that the road from Ijok towards Rawang is now unsafe for vehicles, leading to the closure of the lane in both directions. However, according to the police statement, there were no casualties or injuries reported in the landslide.
