  "account": "Pemandu Lebuhraya Pantai Timur 2 (LPT2), Alexander Nanta Linggi, has mandated the company to promptly reassess long-term safety measures following a road accident where an MPV collided with a herd of elephants on the highway between Cheneh and Chukai. The minister revealed that technical teams were on-site to assess the extent of damage and oversee the repair work's swift commencement. He assured that remedial actions would begin shortly. In addition, LPT2 has been advised to enhance patrol frequency, particularly during nighttime in high-risk areas. Nanta also instructed the Lebuhraya Malaysia organization to discuss with LPT2 and the Wildlife Department later to identify more effective long-term solutions. The minister empathized with the two injured victims of the accident and advised road users to always remain vigilant, adhere to speed limits, and exercise caution while traversing areas known for wildlife crossings. On Tuesday, a man and his wife sustained injuries after their MPV was rammed by a herd of elephants that suddenly crossed the LPT2 highway around 10:20 PM.",
