Accident at Lebuh Puteri near Columbia Asia Hospital road junction

An accident involving a motorcycle and a car happened on 23 Dec 2008 around 11:30 am at the road junction near Columbia Asia Hospital. Motorists are advised to drive/ride carefully and be extra vigilant while passing this junction.

Meanwhile MPSJ Zone 16 Councilor Mr. Tan Jo Hann is working closely with MPSJ, IOI and JKP 16 to find an effective solution to tackle this dangerous junction.

"The road junction at the Columbia Asia Hospital is of great concern to many of us as there has been regular accidents there. We have been examining the situation since last month and have been liasing with MPSJ road engineers and also IOI management personnel. Yesterday a rather serious accident happened involving a motorcycle and a car, the victim on the bike was quite seriously injured. I have been liasing with IOI and MPSJ to explore possibly installing traffic lights at the critical juntion, or temporarily closing the opening in the middle of the road which vehicles use for u-turns. Nevertheless all 3 parties (MPSJ, IOI, JKP zonw 16) are working together to resolve this once and for all, unnecessary accidents and injuries to life and property", added Tan Jo Hann.
