SONG, SARAWAK – A man was injured after his motorcycle skidded and crashed in a self-accident in front of the Chua Brothers workshop along Jalan Katibas this evening.
According to a statement from the Sarawak Operations Centre (PGO), the Song Fire and Rescue Station (BBP) received an emergency call regarding the accident at 7.10pm. A team of firefighters was immediately dispatched to the location.
“Rescue personnel arrived at the scene at 7.13pm and confirmed that it was a self-inflicted accident,” said the spokesperson.
Victim Taken to Hospital Before Rescue Team Arrived
Eyewitnesses at the scene informed authorities that the injured motorcyclist had already been transported to the hospital by an ambulance from the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) before the arrival of the fire and rescue team.
Due to this, no rescue operations were carried out by the fire department, and the team focused on cleaning up debris and ensuring the road was safe for other road users.
Authorities Remind Riders to Stay Vigilant
This incident serves as another reminder for motorcyclists to exercise caution while riding, especially at night when visibility is lower. Authorities continue to urge road users to adhere to speed limits, wear proper protective gear, and stay alert to prevent accidents.
Motorcyclists remain one of the most vulnerable groups on Malaysian roads, with self-accidents being a major contributor to injuries and fatalities.
