A driver was seriously injured after his Toyota Avanza collided with a lorry on Jalan Stabau in Sibu, Sarawak, this morning, according to the Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) Sarawak.
The incident, which occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m., underscores ongoing road safety concerns in Malaysia, where traffic accidents remain a leading cause of fatalities. With no immediate rescue required, authorities focused on safety monitoring and incident documentation, but the case highlights the risks faced by motorists on busy arterial routes.
Operation commander PBK I Jinny Lenggie stated that the lorry driver escaped unharmed, while the Avanza driver sustained injuries severe enough to require immediate medical transport. The Ministry of Health (MOH) ambulance arrived at the scene before firefighters, removing the injured driver by 11:47 a.m.
Firefighters from the Bomba Sibu Jaya Station confirmed neither victim was trapped, allowing the team of six firefighters and one Fire Rescue Tender (FRT) to conclude operations by noon after declaring the area safe.
The accident marks the latest in a series of road incidents in Sarawak, where authorities continue to emphasize preventive measures amid rising traffic volumes. No further details on the cause of the collision or the injured driver’s condition were provided by Bomba Sarawak.
