An electric vehicle (EV), a Changan Deepal SO7, was found upside down and severely damaged under Sirat Expressway in front of the White Jade Tai Hong Gong Shrine.

Beside the fallen car was a motorbike tipped onto its right side. It was reportedly driven by a 68-year-old Indian man, who sustained critical injuries, including a broken wrist.
The two injured were transported to nearby hospitals.
