00:00A dashcam video is believed to have captured moments before the tragic accident on kilometre
00:12204 of the northbound North-South Expressway that claimed seven lives Monday night.
00:18The recording shared on TikTok shows several vehicles switching on their hazard lights
00:23and driving slowly to warn other road users about a lorry tyre in the middle lane.
00:28The relatively dark road conditions made it difficult for drivers to spot the tyre.
00:33According to police, the right front tyre of a lorry driven by a 31-year-old man had
00:39come off.
00:40A tour bus carrying 27 passengers hit the tyre, lost control and veered into the opposite
00:46lane before colliding with a trailer driven by a 27-year-old man accompanied by a 16-year-old
00:53passenger.
00:54The collision caused the trailer to veer into the left lane, hitting the road barrier
00:58before colliding with a sedan and an MPV.
01:02The crash resulted in the deaths of a driver and four MPV passengers, in addition to the
01:07bus driver and a passenger.
01:10At least 33 people were injured.
01:13The case is being investigated under section 41, subsection 1 of the Road Transport Act
01:191987.
