This is the third highway-related accident this year.
On March 3, a trailer crashed into metal scaffolding at the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Expressway (Suke), causing an unfinished bridge to collapse onto a moving van. Two died and three were injured.
On March 22, a crane working on the Suke highway collapsed, killing three people.
Prolintas is also the developer for Suke.
