Around 4pm today, it was reported that a lorry caught fire at the Kesas Toll Plaza in Petaling Jaya.
The incident right before the Sunway-Seafield toll is in the midst of being cleared, obstructing the 4th & 5th lane causing delays from the Kinrara toll. Officials report that the trailer which caught on fire at KM7 has been put out and the lane has been closed for cleaning works.
