PUCHONG: Hundreds of motorists were caught in a gridlock at KM21.4 of the Damansara –Puchong Expressway (LDP) near the IOI Mall, Puchong Jaya this evening.
The massive jam was triggered by flash floods, which caught motorists off guard and left some sections of the stretch temporarily impassable.
A Fire and Rescue Department spokesman said the flood waters rose from 0.3 metres up to 0.6 metres between 3.40pm and 5.00pm due to the torrential downpour.
He said the flood lasted about an hour and receded at 5pm when the rain eventually stopped.
It is understood that traffic is still slow-moving along the stretch.
