“Preliminary investigations based on dashboard camera footage revealed that the lorry first collided with a Proton Saga, which then hit four other vehicles in an adjacent lane travelling in the same direction.

“All of the vehicles involved were badly damaged while the 29-year-old driver of the Proton Saga and her four-year-old daughter, who was in a child seat at the back, were seriously injured,” he said in a statement today.
