Collision lands pick-up in earth drain

A firefighter examines the pick-up truck in the earth drain.
KUCHING: A pick-up truck veered off the road and landed in an earth drain after it collided with a car at a junction near Taman Harmoni KM7 Jalan Sri Aman-Serian around 9pm on Tuesday (Nov 26).
        The Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) said in a statement that the pick-up truck driver and two passengers managed to escape from the wreck without being injured.
        It is believed that the pick-up truck driver had just managed to overtake another vehicle and was attempting to return to its original lane when it accidently clipped the front section of the other car.
       This caused the pick-up truck driver to lose control of the vehicle.
The driver and four passengers of the car were also uninjured in the accident.

My comments: 
This is the ninth case of vehicles landing in earth drains since 20th October, 2019 when a youth of aged 23 died when the Hilux he was driving turned turtle in an earth drain along Rantau Panjang, Sibu.  I have been the incidents like this since the day.
        It is time to seek justification from the Sarawak government road or so-called federal government and the road construction monopolised  company for the shoddy work.  
        I guess these roads where the vehicles went straight to the drain and turned turtle   are the roads without the right width of road shoulder or no road shoulder at all.  We rakyat are always abandoned to travel at our own risk.  It is time to force these authorities concerned to look into the road conditions and be prepared to be sued in court.
