Cars Trapped Following Landslide on Karak Highway, no fatalities reported.

A landslide is blocking all lanes in both directions on the Karak Highway. It occurs at Kilommetre 52.2 at Bukit Tinggi where the lanes were really watery kind of mud. So, all lanes in all directions are currently being obstructed. For now, traffic heading towards Kuala Lumpur is stuck in a 3km standstill, with a 1km crawl heading towards Bentong. From the picture that I had watched through News at TV1, there are some cars that are buried in this landslide. As an alternative, road users can exit off at Bukit Tinggi or Bentong or use trunk roads to bypass the congestion. A spokesman from the Pahang Fire and Rescue Department confirmed that there were four vehicles that were trapped in the landslide but all passengers managed to escape unhurt.
