SIBU, Dec 31: Two 18-year-old girls were injured in a single-vehicle accident at Mile 38 on the Sibu-Bintulu stretch of the Pan Borneo Highway earlier today.
According to the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba), they received a distress call at 5.04pm and promptly dispatched a team from the Selangau Fire Station to the scene.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the driver lost control of the Perodua Axia before colliding with a metal road divider.
The impact caused the driver to sustain head injuries, while the passenger suffered minor injuries.
“Upon our arrival, both victims had already been assisted out of the vehicle by bystanders and were receiving initial medical treatment from a Health Ministry ambulance team from the Selangau Health Clinic,” Bomba stated in their report.
Firefighters inspected the scene, disconnected the car’s battery to prevent electrical hazards, and ensured the area was safe before leaving.
The condition of the victims is currently being monitored. — DayakDaily
