The Transport Ministry today revealed that the gravel-laden lorry involved in the tragic accident involving a Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) truck on Jalan Chikus-Sungai Lampam, Teluk Intan, last month, did not have the permission to carry the load.

Citing the initial report of the investigation into the crash, it said the tipper lorry is only allowed to carry coal, but at the time of the incident, it was carrying 40,960kg of gravel, which exceeded 70 percent of the permitted load limit.
