KUALA LUMPUR — Three men were killed when the car they were travelling in skidded and crashed into a road divider on the Kuala Lumpur–Seremban Expressway (Besraya), heading towards the Sungai Besi toll plaza near the Balakong exit, early this morning.

The Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) received an emergency call at 5.57am, and dispatched 10 firefighters with two fire engines from the Sungai Besi and Bukit Jalil stations to the scene.

Operations commander Shahrum Din said that upon arrival at 6.07am, they found a Toyota Vios that had lost control and hit the divider.

“All three men, believed to be in their 30s, were trapped inside the vehicle with serious injuries. It took about an hour for firefighters to extricate them.

“They were pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, and their bodies have been handed over to the police for further action,” he said.
