PUTRAJAYA - The trailer driver who crashed into 13 vehicles in an accident at Kilometer (KM) 5.7 Jalan Persiaran Utara, Putrajaya last Wednesday will be charged in court this Monday.

Putrajaya District Police chief, Assistant Commissioner Asmadi Abdul Aziz said that the remand of the suspect previously carried out had been extended.

"The investigation papers related to this case have been completed and have been referred to the public prosecutor, and an order has been given to prosecute the suspect on Monday.
