The two cars in the pond in Stapang.

SIBU: It was a case of overtaking gone wrong for two drivers who found themselves soaking wet when their respective cars plunged into a pond at Stapang, about 30km from here on Friday.

The incident happened when they failed to overtake a car while travelling from Bintulu to Sibu at 1.30pm. Both drivers were travelling closely together in their cars and attempted to overtake the car in front of them.

However, they did not manage to complete the manoeuvre and instead veered to the side of the road and landed inside a pond. Both drivers managed to exit their partially submerged vehicles, suffering only cuts and bruises.
