IPOH: All north-bound lanes on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) near Behrang are currently closed after a tanker lorry caught fire following an accident at KM372 of the expressway this morning.
PLUS, in a Twitter post, said the lanes had been blocked and motorists are advised to exit the highway at Behrang or Slim River to avoid congestion.
A spokesman said the accident, involving the tanker and another lorry, happened at 8.50am, barely 50 metres from the Slim River toll plaza interchange.
The accident caused a three kilometre-long traffic congestion.
