KUCHING, May 24 — A lorry driver sustained a fractured left leg after two lorries collided at Kampung Buso along Jalan Bau-Kuching yesterday afternoon.

The Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) said it received a distress call at 2pm and deployed firefighters from the Bau station to the scene.

“The incident involved two lorries that collided. A man was pinned to the driver’s seat while sustaining a fracture on his left leg — he was still conscious.

“The driver of the other lorry was uninjured,” Bomba said in a statement.

Firefighters used rescue equipment to extricate the injured driver before handing him over to paramedics for further treatment.

The operation ended at 2.30pm. — The Borneo Post
