Bulldozer driver crushed to death in Long Seridan mishap, says Sarawak Fire Dept

A 45-year-old man died in a bulldozer accident in Long Seridan, Marudi after the vehicle went out of control.

Firefighters took over seven hours to reach the remote site due to challenging road conditions, and found the victim already deceased.

The incident is under investigation for reckless driving, and the bulldozer has been impounded by Marudi police.

MIRI, Sept 14 — A 45-year-old man died after the bulldozer he was operating went out of control, causing him to fall and become trapped under its tracks in a horrific mishap in Long Seridan, Marudi yesterday afternoon.

Following information from the police, the Marudi fire station deployed a four-person team to the location about 261km away.

It took firefighters more than seven hours to arrive at 9.49pm at the remote location due to the rough, slippery, and pothole-riddled logging road.

Operation commander senior fire officer I Erec Unyi said when they reached the scene, a medical assistant from Long Seridan Clinic had already arrived and confirmed the victim’s death.

The victim was identified as Mancha Lingan from Rumah Lingan Ulu Sangan, Tatau.

After an initial assessment, firefighters attempted to extricate the victim but did not succeed.

“Following discussions with auxiliary police personnel at the scene, we sought assistance from a mechanic of Shin Yang company, who used wielding gas and oxygen equipment to remove the bulldozer’s crawler track chain to facilitate the extrication,” Bomba said in a statement.

After managing to extricate the victim from under the vehicle, the body was handed over to the auxiliary police for further action and transported to Marudi Hospital.

Marudi police chief DSP Nor Aizan Mohd Jamil said the case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by reckless or dangerous driving.

He said police are tracing witnesses, recording statements from those involved, and have impounded the vehicle involved at the Marudi Police Station for further investigation. — The Borneo Post

在马鲁迪的隆塞里丹，一辆推土机失控，导致一名 45 岁男子死亡。

由于道路状况恶劣，消防员花了七个多小时才到达偏远现场，发现受害者已经死亡。

该事件因涉嫌鲁莽驾驶正在接受调查，推土机已被马鲁迪警方扣押。

美里，9月14日讯——昨天下午，在马鲁迪龙塞里丹发生的一起可怕事故中，一名45岁男子操作推土机时，推土机失控，导致他摔倒并被困在履带下身亡。

根据警方提供的信息，马鲁迪消防站派出一个四人小组前往约 261 公里外的地点。

由于伐木道路崎岖、湿滑且坑洼遍布，消防员花了七个多小时才于晚上 9 点 49 分到达偏远地点。

行动指挥官、高级消防官员伊·埃雷克·乌尼表示，当他们到达现场时，龙塞里丹诊所的一名医务助理已经到达，并确认了受害者的死亡。

受害者被确认为来自达陶 (Tatau) Rumah Lingan Ulu Sangan 的 Mancha Lingan。

经过初步评估，消防员试图将受害者救出，但没有成功。

“在与现场辅警人员商议后，我们向新阳公司的一名机械师寻求帮助，他使用气体和氧气设备拆除了推土机的履带链，以便将人员救出，”消防局长在一份声明中说。

在将受害者从车下救出后，尸体被移交给辅警进行进一步处理，并被送往马鲁迪医院。

马鲁迪警区主任诺艾赞·莫哈末·贾米尔警司表示，此案正在根据 1987 年道路交通法令第 41(1) 条进行调查，该条文规定了鲁莽或危险驾驶致人死亡的罪行。

他说，警方正在追踪目击者，记录涉事人员的证词，并将涉事车辆扣押在马鲁迪警察局作进一步调查。——《婆罗洲邮报》
