A Bangladeshi expatriate worker was killed in Malaysia when a spider lift crane overturned and crushed him on Jalan Perak in Kuala Lumpur. The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. on Friday while he was operating the crane to work on a roadside billboard. According to Kuala Lumpur Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief ACP Mohamad Zamzuri Mohamad Isa, the victim himself was driving the crane.

Preliminary investigations found that the crane, which was being operated by remote control, became stuck on the pavement and toppled over. The worker was trapped underneath and died at the scene. The crane’s fall also damaged two nearby cars, though no passengers inside were injured.

Police are now searching for the company that owns the crane and are investigating whether it had proper authorization to operate in Kuala Lumpur.
