KUCHING, Oct 31: A video seeming to show a man falling from the Kuap bridge in Samarahan this morning has gone viral.
The video, captured by a delivery person and shared more than an hour ago on a social media group, showed a parked car on the bridge amidst heavy traffic.
Moments later, a man was seen exiting the vehicle from the passenger side and moving toward the barrier wall before falling.
Several drivers stopped their cars by the roadside to assess the situation.
The man is believed to have landed safely in the muddy, shallow river due to low tide, as detailed in an updated report within the same social media group.
Meanwhile, Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) Sarawak reported that the man had already been taken away by his family members before the team of firefighters arrived at the scene.
A team from BBP Samarahan Station rushed to the scene following an emergency call from the police regarding the incident.
However, upon the firefighters’ arrival, the man was no longer present at the location. The operation was concluded after ensuring the safety and security of the site.
For those who are feeling stressed, worried or depressed, or facing any problems and difficulties in their lives, help and support is always just a phone call or a click away.
