MIRI, Sept 14 — Two people were injured when the car they were travelling in collided head-on with a lorry along Jalan Pesisir Pantai, Bekenu, near here today.
The Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) said in a statement that an emergency call was received at 12.51pm, prompting a team from the Batu Niah Fire and Rescue Station (BBP Batu Niah) to be dispatched to the scene, about 23km away.
