KUCHING: A student will begin counting his blessings after his near-death experience along Jalan Stutong on Wednesday.
State Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department chief Supt Alexson Naga Chabu said the 18-year-old male driver was able to walk away from the crash after the car overturned twice.
An on-board camera from another vehicle, a compact car which was on the right lane, showed that the driver lost control while tackling a bend, causing his vehicle to overturn several times before it landed in the drain.
The vehicle was headed to Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce, Kuching.
On the plus side, both the driver and passenger managed to walk away from the incident unharmed following checks by the paramedics summoned to the scene.
However, the driver was issued a summon for reckless driving under Road Traffic Rules 1959 Rule 10 (LN 166/59).
