KUCHING: Six individuals suffered light injuries after they were involved in a three-vehicle pile-up at KM13 Jalan Sri Aman-Betong around 8.30am yesterday.
The accident involved two lorries and a car.
Sri Aman Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) found two lorry passengers trapped in the first lorry’s cabin requiring extrication.
Both sustained injuries to their legs after they were pinned in the cabin.
However, the driver of the same lorry managed to exit the cabin by himself and only sustained cuts to his face.
