KUALA LUMPUR: Four people were killed and two others seriously injured in a horrific crash at Km16.7 of the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) early this morning.

The driver of the Innova and three passengers, aged between 32 and 52, were killed on the scene.
Two other passengers survived with serious injuries and were rushed to the Sungai Buloh hospital.
