Lorry Found to be Carrying 31 Per Cent Over Permitted Load Limit

The lorry involved in a fatal collision on the North-South Expressway was found to be carrying 16,250 kilogrammes, which was 31 per cent above its permitted load limit. This finding is central to the charges that will be brought against the lorry company.
Company Facing Overloading Charge

A Johor-based lorry company is scheduled to be charged in court on March 4 in connection with a five-vehicle collision that resulted in seven fatalities. The charge relates to overloading, as investigations revealed the lorry was transporting 16,250 kilogrammes of cement powder.
Legal Proceedings Under Way

The Melaka Road Transport Department (JPJ) has served a court summons to the company, and the case will be mentioned at the Alor Gajah Magistrates’ Court. The prosecution will proceed under Section 57(1)(b)(vi) of the Land Public Transport Act (APAD) 2010.
Forfeiture of Rights Sought
