Senior Operations Commander Ahmad Khomeini Kamarudzaman said a team of firefighters arrived at the scene at around 7.30am and found the car completely destroyed.

He said the 31-year-old woman sustained minor injuries after being rescued by the lorry driver, who stopped immediately upon realising his load had fallen.
