Massive cable reels fall on NKVE after striking flyover
The incident, which occurred at Kilometre 8.7 of the Damansara–Setia Alam stretch of the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE), forced passing vehicles to slow down and swerve to avoid the reels.
Footage from a dashcam shared in the Facebook group Dashcam Malaysia showed the truck carrying the two huge reels approaching the flyover.
As the truck passed beneath the flyover, the tops of the cable reels hit the structure, causing them to come loose and fall onto the highway.
Separately, the Oriental Daily reported seeing two massive cable reels on the middle and side of the expressway.

Highway repairs to face third-party auditor scrutiny
13 Aug 2025 10:11am For the first time ever, Works Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi is bringing in an independent third-party auditor to check highway repairs. Why it matters: Most highway concession contracts expire next year and until now, quality checks were done only by JKR and the concessionaires themselves.
