Another day, another fatal accident it seems. When will this end?
A devastating road accident occurred this morning at approximately 8:45 AM on the Pan Borneo Highway, specifically at Kilometre 11, resulting in the untimely deaths of two individuals, a high-powered motorcyclist and a senior citizen driving a car. The scene of the crash has left the local community in shock and mourning.
The motorcyclist, identified as Eqzhamsya Jinol, was just 34 years old and was riding a Kawasaki motorcycle. Eyewitnesses reported that the accident involved Eqzhamsya colliding with a Perodua Kembara, a compact SUV, driven by 75-year-old Lidinus Jusim, also known as John Jusim Majanun. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families.
Moreover, preliminary investigations by local authorities suggest that the collision may have occurred when Eqzhamsya was overtaking another vehicle. The impact was catastrophic, leading to both individuals sustaining severe injuries. Emergency responders arrived quickly at the scene, but unfortunately, both were pronounced dead shortly after their arrival at the hospital.
The accident has raised concerns about road safety in the region, particularly on the Pan Borneo Highway, which has seen an increase in traffic and, subsequently, a rise in accidents. Local officials have urged all motorists to exercise caution, particularly in areas where road conditions may be challenging. It should also serve as a reminder to always be safe and vigilant on the road.
On top of that, they have also emphasised the importance of wearing helmets and following traffic regulations to reduce the risk of such tragic incidents in the future. The families of both victims are devastated by the loss. While accidents like this are never wanted, it still seems to happen too often. We need to change that.
Both men left behind grieving families and friends who are struggling to come to terms with the sudden and senseless nature of their deaths. This was not necessary and their deaths should not be taken lightly. Accidents happen, but we should all strive to minimise them not only for our own sakes, but for our loved ones as well.
As investigations continue into the circumstances surrounding the accident, the community is rallying together to offer support to the families affected by this tragedy. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers present on the roads and the importance of responsible driving to prevent further loss of life.
We here at DSF want to remind all our dear readers to always be safe on and off the road.
