A road accident at Kilometer 11.5 Jalan Kuala Selangor-Kuala Lumpur near Bukit Rotan killed two men, including a Health Ministry (KKM) personnel, around 4pm on 2 June.
According to Berita Harian, two men were changing tyres by the roadside when they were run over by a lorry.
Kuala Selangor police chief Superintendent Ramli Kasa said a 55-year-old man who drove a Proton Preve got down to change a punctured tyre. A Proton Wira driver, 40, stopped to help him.
At about the same time, a lorry coming from Kuala Selangor to Kuala Lumpur attempted to avoid the vehicle that was parked in the emergency lane by swerving right.
The lorry swerved directions again to avoid a Mercedes in his blindspot (already on the right-hand side of the road) and hit both victims.
Both victims died on the spot due to extensive injuries and the bodies were brought to Hospital Tanjong Karang (HTK) for post-mortem.

Spokane, Washington, United States
July 23, 1944
During World War Two war shows, like airshows today, were a popular way the military drummed up a patriotic spirit in local communities. The shows demonstrated military equipment to awe viewers and show just what all of the homefront efforts had produced.
Spokanintes were looking forward to attending the “Stay On The Job” war show on the afternoon of July 23, 1944. The show was conceived by Spokane air service command deputy commander Colonel Paul Schidecker to encourage the workers of the Inland Northwest to keep working to produce military equipment and vehicles. By having mock firefights and air battles to show how effective the equipment was in use along with how much wear and tear they underwent, the SPASC hoped to curve the high turnover rate the defense industry was seeing.
With the show beginning at 3 P.M., a crowd of over 100,000 viewers gathered in a natural amphitheater north of Spokane to watch the parades, weapons demonstrations, aerial maneuvers, and bomb droppings. About half an hour after the show began, during the parade of military aircraft the crowd's attention was called to three A-25 dive-bombers flying into sight. Moments later tragedy struck as two of the planes collided and fell to the ground, bursting into flames. The crowd initially believed the explosions to be a part of the show, which promised realism, but soon they began to realize just what they had witnessed. Crews rushed to control the fires, and after a 45-minute interruption, the show continued. The next day it was announced that four men died in the crash, two pilots and two engineers.
The deaths of these young men lived on, in a sense, in the 1956 science fiction film Earth vs. the Flying Saucers. Film crews recording the event caught the accident on camera and the footage of the two planes crashing and exploding became stock footage for Hollywood movies.

In Dagestan, in the village of Mamedkala, a tragic event occurred that shocked the local community. A 15-year-old schoolgirl was the victim of a terrible accident on the railway tracks. A freight train moving along its route hit a girl who, it is believed, did not notice the approaching train.
According to preliminary data, the girl, wearing headphones, walked along the railway tracks and did not hear the sounds of the warning signal. Perhaps she was immersed in music or an audiobook, which prevented her from hearing the approaching train.
This tragic incident is a serious reminder of the need to follow safety rules when traveling near railroad tracks. It emphasizes the importance of environmental awareness, especially in high-risk areas.
