Penang 3, Selangor 1 - Well, yeah, that is the score for the number of incidents of heavy vehicles stuck under flyovers in the last few days.
The first 3 incidents occurred at the same underpass at Jalan Chain Ferry, Butterworth. In the first incident on Saturday, 28 October at 7am, a school bus driven by a 50-year old driver took the shortcut underpass which has a 2.6m height limit. The bus was stuck under the flyover and was damaged, causing minor injuries to his co-driver. The school bus was supposed on the way to pick up passengers to Karak on a special permit for extra trips in conjunction with the Deeparaya holidays.
