Rescue teams were quickly dispatched to the scene to assist the unnamed injured driver of the truck. However, their efforts were unsuccessful, and the driver tragically passed away at the scene before being transported to the police forensic hospital.

However, due to the large size of the container truck and the substantial amount of clothes inside the container, the process of removing the wreckage went by with difficulties and challenges.Highway Police Station 2 stated that they had reviewed CCTV footage of the accident and found that the driver was not speedy. The officers are currently looking into the cause of the accident to prevent possible future reoccurrence.
