Highway developer issues stop-work order after car hit by concrete slab

The developer of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE), Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas), has issued a stop-work order following today’s incident in which a wall slab from the ongoing highway construction fell and hit a car along the Middle Ring Road 2 in Bandar Tasik Selatan.

In a statement, Prolintas said it would cooperate fully with the authorities in the matter.

“The SUKE emergency response team is already at the scene to control traffic and remove the parapet wall and the car involved (in the incident).

“Any inconvenience caused is much regretted and SUKE will ensure that all aspects of safety are prioritised and improved from time to time,” it said.

The driver of the car, a 25-year-old woman, escaped with injuries to her left hand when the concrete slab fell and hit her car at about 5.45pm.
