ALOR SETAR: Three teenagers were injured after a flag carried during the Tokong Sayur procession allegedly came into contact with a high-voltage power line in Mergong here tonight.
The incident is believed to have occurred about 9pm when thousands of participants were taking part in the procession along the main road in Mergong.
The flag, reportedly held by one of the teenagers, was blown by strong winds during light rain before coming into contact with the power line, causing all three teenagers to fall.
The victims, aged 16 and 17, were taken to Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital (HSB), where they were treated in the red zone.
