The couple made their narrow escape after detecting signs of danger on the road, allowing them to abandon their lorry before it became caught in the landslide. The vehicle subsequently tumbled down the ravine, sustaining significant damage in the process.
Hulu Terengganu has experienced unstable ground conditions in recent months, with landslides posing ongoing risks to motorists traveling through the area. Authorities have been working to identify vulnerable sections of roadway and implement safety measures.
The incident serves as a reminder of the hazards faced by road users during the monsoon season, when heavy rainfall increases the risk of ground movement in hilly and mountainous regions across the state.
No other vehicles were reported to have been involved in the incident. Relevant authorities are expected to conduct a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding the landslide.
