KUCHING: A pick-up truck driver was lucky to escape injuries after his four-wheel-drive vehicle was rear-ended by a Proton Persona car at Simpang Tiga flyover, Jalan Tun Razak here on Wednesday.
Head of Sarawak Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department, Supt Alexson Naga Chabu said the 42-year-old man from Siburan was driving from Kenyalang Park heading towards Kuching International Airport, when he stopped the vehicle on the left side of the flyover upon sensing that something was wrong with it.
“Then, a Proton Persona car driven by a 23-year-old woman from Sibu, came from behind and rammed into the four-wheel-drive,” he said in a press statement yesterday.
According to Alexson, initial investigation revealed that the woman was not able to avoid the pick-up truck in time.
The woman suffered bruises on her leg and was later brought to the hospital treatment.
There were no reports of fatalities, although the pick-up truck ended up turned-turtle due to the crash.
