Sepang deputy district police chief, Superintendent G K Shan Gopal said in a statement that the incident happened at around 10 am. The lorry was reportedly travelling from Dengkil towards Puchong.
The driver, a 70-year-old man, had initially tried to stop the lorry by the roadside after he noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment.
“However, he was unable to do so as the flames had already spread rapidly, leading him to jump out of the vehicle while it continued to move on its own,” he said.
It is understood that the lorry driver sustained minor injuries.
Meanwhile, on social media, many users couldn't help but point out the similarity of the incident to the character ‘Ghost Rider’.
