Bus + Lorry + Car = Accident

On my way to town for lunch about 1230 p.m., saw an accident. It happen at the junction. The traffic light junction to hospital. Not surprise.Why? Because that area are prone to accident. Just last month, a oil palm tanker tit from behind and cause all the palm oil to split onto the road and cause more that 4 accidents.

This time it involve 1 bus with almost full of passenger, and lorry belong to a local transport company i.e. Harbour Services - loaded with plywood and a small kancil which is badly hit from behind. It seem that the bus was on the way to town. And the lorry to port, and kancil maybe to kidurong or Sg. Plan. Who is wrong? Don't know. But normally the lorry driver. Why I said lorry driver is because the driver will speed up if the traffic light start to turn yellow or red. Even red, the driver will keep speeding up. Just like see a ghost. They just cannot wait for the next turn. Accident involve lorry or trailer always happen in Bintulu especially Kidurong road. It seem that the driver do not care for other car especially smaller car. What a pity...

Accident Again....this time 2 at same time

On my way to my office from town, not far from Nyabau traffic light, after the SM Teknik school, saw 2 accidents happen on the same road. not far from each other. About 10 meters. The first accident I saw was a Viva or Kancil over turn and landed in the middle drain. Even the drain is not made from concrete, but the roof of the car is badly damaged. Guest the driver or passenger must be in serious pain. And not far from the 1st accident, saw another accident. A Myvi hit the middle of the road. Must be hit the tree. But the driver is lucky as his car just damage from the front part only.

Why there accident of the same road? Because of the slippery road cause by the oil palm tanker yesterday about 5 p.m. Yesterday late afternoon, the spot at the traffic light, an oil palm tanker hit another oil palm tanker from behind. So the impact cause the oil palm split out from the tanker. And worst still that the tanker is full and on the way to oil palm refinery. Because of it, the streach of road from the traffic light until the junction to Daiken(if drive up to LNG), and from traffic light until the junction to Kidorung Telekom (if drive down to town) is slippery. And worst still, there not even a sigh board that show slippery road and to remind others driver about the danger of the road. Just be careful when drive the Kidurong Road. 

 

The first accident happen. Notice the car upside down and badly dented. 

People is looking and trying to help the driver, while waiting for ambulance. 

Second accident. Lucky for this driver. 

M.V. Kidurong

This is Menara Kidurong that look like a ship. Why? Because the building is Bintulu Port. A design that suit it business.
