Kemalangan di Puncak Borneo

29 may 2010 - KUCHING: Tarat assemblyman Roland Sagah Wee Inn sustained three broken ribs when his four-wheel drive vehicle plunged 12m into a ravine at Jalan Puncak Borneo, about 70km from here.
Four others in the vehicle, including the driver, were also injured in the incident which occurred at about 2pm yesterday.
Sagah told reporters at the Sarawak General Hospital that his group was coming down from the Borneo Highlands Resort and heading towards Kuching after a function with community leaders when the vehicle went out of control.
“I think the 4WD had brake problems. The ravine is very deep. I was conscious and it’s a torture looking at it because our 4WD turned turtle twice before landing on its side at the bottom of the ravine,” he said.
He recalled that the vehicle plunged down fast and only came to a stop about three minutes later.
Fortunately for the victims, Sagah said the trees cushioned the impact and this could have saved their lives.
Among the victims were two councillors. One of them was discharged after treatment while the other was still under observation.
The other two victims were still receiving treatment at press time.
Sagah said Deputy Tourism Minister Datuk Dr James Dawos Mamit who was passing through the area in another 4WD after attending the same function, sent them to the hospital.
