KOTA KINABALU: A local man was seriously injured when the Proton Saga car he was driving was hit by two other vehicles near the Bukit Padang traffic intersection yesterday morning.
In the 5am incident, it was learnt that the man, in his 40s, was trying to make a U-turn before colliding with a Toyota Rav4 vehicle that was coming from a separate direction, and a van that was tailing the victim’s car failed to stop in time and rammed its rear.
The victim was pinned to his seat and had to be taken out by the Fire and Rescue Services Department who rushed to the scene after receiving a distress call.
City police chief ACP Jauteh Dikun said the victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment.
Jauteh urged eyewitnesses to come forward to help police in their investigation under Section 43 (1) of the Road Transport Act, 1987.
