Sarawak Trailer and Lorry Drivers.



But yesterday, Syadiq, the second of three sons, was killed instantly after a trailer ran over him and crushed his skull.


It's was made to understand that earlier, after sitting for an SPM paper, he was overheard as saying he was looking forward to the final paper today and that he was on his way to Demak Laut in search of a job.
It is understood that he was heading to a factory in Bintawa when a trailer truck rammed into the back of his motorcycle around 10.30am.
Syadiq, who was thrown onto the road, was run over and dragged some 20 metres by the trailer before it came to a halt.
Police arrived soon after and began the process of collecting pieces of the victim’s skull and brain from the road and from one of the trailer’s tyres before covering the body with old newspaper as a large crowd gathered to watch.
The mother and elder brother of the victim arrived later at the scene and confirmed his identity.
Both, however, were in an extreme state of shock and were unable to speak.
On several occasions the mother was on the verge of fainting.
Police arrested the driver of the trailer along with his attendant immediately after the incident and have detained the two men pending further investigation.


The above statement quoted from the borneo post today .
My Deepest Sympathies and Condolences to the Family of Allahyarham Mohamad Syadiq Abdul Halim on their bereavement.

While I was driving along the Jalan Bako from my house to Custom Complex these are interesting sights to see,I would say these are all trailers,truck and Cargo Lorries drivers,Rules are made to be broken.
*Driving to fast on the slow lane and driving over speed limit on fast lane.
*Park their truck,trailers and lorry in the middle of the road or at NO paring zone.
*Parking their huge trailers by roadside and drive at speed of more than 90Kph with overloaded cargo.
This type of accident which could have had tragic consequences is why we need to make sure that there are regulations in place to safeguard the cars,motorcyclist on the road from this F1 truck drivers.When truck,trailers and cargo lorries are involved in accidents the frequency of deaths and severity of injuries increase substantially.Causes of trucking accidents include driver intoxication,brake failure,reckles driving,overloaded trucks,oversize trucks and driver inexperience.
PANDU CERMAT JIWA SELAMAT.
