  "account": "SHAH ALAM - A 58-year-old trailer driver was safely rescued moments before his vehicle caught fire, after losing control and crashing into road dividers near Klang. South Klang police chief assistant commissioner Lim Jit Huey stated that the incident unfolded around 5:15am when the driver's trailer lost control, struck the left road divider before veering off and crashing into the center divider. This impact caused the trailer's cargo section to separate from the cabin, leading to the cabin catching fire. Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control by 6:15am. Lim explained that police controlled the traffic until the trailer was removed from the scene. The case is now under investigation under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987. A video of the burning trailer obstructing traffic in front of a warehouse had previously gone viral on social media.",
