According to Selangor Police Chief Hussein Omar Khan, the plane crashed on the highway as it was about to arrive at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Selangor after losing communication with the air traffic control tower.

“There was no emergency call, and the aircraft had been given clearance to land,” he continued.
