KUCHING: A 64-year-old man and his 36-year-old son were killed on the spot in a crash involving multiple vehicles on the Kuching–Bau road this afternoon.
The Fire and Rescue Department, called in to extricate the bodies from their crushed Perodua Kancil, identified the duo as Atong Nebok and his son Wilson.
In the accident near Taman Seniawan, their blue Kancil was sandwiched in between a van which it had crashed into head-on, and a lorry which had hit it from behind.
The other victims involved in the crash sustained minor injuries and were taken to Bau Hospital for check up and treatment.
Accidents on the colonial era, 35km-long road from the city to the former gold mining town of Bau are frequent.
This is as it is a narrow, contra-lane road.
