Road accidents 30/10/2019
On
20/10/2019, my friend’s son who was only 23 died when the Hilux car he was
driving skidded off the road and turned turtle inside the monsoon drain at
Jalan Rantau Panjang, Sibu. He got
trapped in the car and drowned. The road
condition is said to be the cause for the car to skid off the road and fell
into the drain. I hope that the family
will take some actions to sue the authority concerned for the poor road
conditions.
On
26th October, 2019, six days later, another car (not Hilux) at Ling
Kai Cheng Road plunged into the ditch.
The car also went upside down and the driver got drowned, too and his
nine-year-old son survived. He was saved
by a passerby. A day later, the Hilux car in Sarikei went upside down on top the ditch which was too small for the car to get into the ditch or the same tragedy would happen.
Is
it time for the authority concerned to do something to prevent the same tragedy
to happen again and again? For the roads
which have the ditch or monsoon drain with more than two feet in width to have
railings or cover up the ditches. Don’t
wait until the victims’ family to sue you for the tragedy.
