KLANG (Bernama): Objects falling off vehicles caused a total of 776 accidents along the PLUS Highway in 2020, says the Selangor Road Transport Department (JPJ). Its director Nazli Md Taib said this was a worrying statistic and PLUS also reported 19,218 objects were collected along the highway that year. "Of the total, 46.1% were tyre debris, steel (18.4%), wood (11.9%) and the rest were other objects such as vehicle components and plastic items," he said in a news conference in conjunction with 'Op Halangan' at the Bukit Raja Toll Plaza here, on Wednesday (March 10). Nazli said the integrated operation in collaboration with PLUS Malaysia Bhd and the police, aimed at creating awareness among trailer and lorry owners and drivers not to place items such as wood and steel under the vehicle's body, which could cause accidents.
