A police officer in Sarawak died in an accident yesterday (12 March) on the Panchor bridge in Jalan Kuching-Serian, Sarawak, Malaysia.
The deceased was a police officer in his late 20s from the Serian District Police Headquarters and was pronounced dead at the scene following the accident, which split his car in half, with the front portion of the car detached from the vehicle.
The wreckage was later cleaned up by the Fire and Rescue Department, as the authorities began investigations into the accident.
It is unknown how the accident happened, but photos of the aftermath of the fatal accident showed the wreckage of the deceased’s car, with the front portion ripped off.
It was completely ripped off from the main chassis of the car, with the two front tyres still attacked to the ripped-off portion of the car.
The deceased’s car was the only vehicle involved in the accident and no other motorists were involved in the fatal accident.
China Press reported that the driver had purportedly lost control of his car, and was flung out of the vehicle due to the impact.
The Serian Fire and Rescue Department confirmed the accident, saying that they received a call for help yesterday morning at about 7.29 am.
The man was then pronounced dead at the scene and his body was then brought to the Serian Hospital by the police for follow-up action.
The debris and oil spill from the accident were then cleaned up by firefighters before the operation concluded at about 8.10 am.
