PETALING JAYA(Malaysia): Nine cars were involved in an accident on the Federal Highway near the Petaling Jaya Hilton exit after a downpour yesterday.

Police have yet to determine the cause of the accident but believed that the slippery road condition contributed to the pile-up.

All the cars were heading for Shah Alam from Kuala Lumpur.

The accident, which damaged at least six cars, caused a traffic jam on both sides of the highway.

No injuries were reported.

A police spokesman said police were investigating the cause of the accident.

"We have received reports from six drivers."
