SARIKEI, 6 May 2025 – A 54-year-old man sustained injuries and was found in a semi-conscious state after a self-driving accident that occurred along Jalan Simpang Bayong earlier this afternoon.
According to Sarikei District Civil Defence Officer, Lieutenant (PA) Shahrol Azizi Zaidi, his department received an emergency call at around 12.10 pm regarding the incident.
“Upon receiving the emergency call, the Bravo Squad from the Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM) Sarikei was quickly dispatched to the accident site,” he said in a statement to the press.
Once the team arrived at the scene, they discovered the victim still inside the vehicle and in a semi-conscious condition. Immediate first aid was provided by the APM personnel at the scene.

The injured man was later transported to the nearest hospital by an MOH ambulance for further medical care.
