Another accident - The Scammell had recovered a trailer near Segamet and was returning to Kluang with it on suspended tow, when it got a puncture in the offside front tyre. Not fitted with power steering, all the driver could do was to pull over to the right verge and get a message to the workshop for some assistance. It was getting dark so the side lights were on. The crew were in the cab and could see in the distance a logging truck approaching them quickly. At the last moment thinking the Scammell was coming towards them it moved over - Crunch!! A good job it was unloaded.
