Snake on trailer causes fatal accident
Tragic end: The unfortunate accident which caused the north-bound traffic to be at a standstill. The snake (inset) was also killed in the accident.
SEREMBAN: A 66-year-old man was killed in a bizarre accident along the North-South Expressway near the Rasah exit after a python landed onto the windscreen of a trailer. The driver of the trailer then braked in shock and swerved onto the road divider along the expressway before crashing into the guardrail during the 4.15am incident.
A car travelling behind the trailer then collided into the vehicle, killing one of the passengers inside, known only as Subramaniam. The victim, who was travelling with three others, died on the spot. The others in the car escaped with light injuries and were sent to Tuanku Ja’afar Hospital here for treatment. The python was also killed in the accident.
