SEREMBAN, Feb 17 (Bernama) -- Six individuals faced a terrifying ordeal tonight when a tree collapsed onto their vehicles near a restaurant on Jalan Seremban-Tampin.
A spokesperson for the Negeri Sembilan Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) Operations Center said that they received an emergency call regarding the incident at 8:48 pm.

He added that seven personnel were involved in the operation, supported by a Fire Rescue Tender (FRT) and Emergency Medical Rescue Services (EMRS) unit.
