Patrick said the accident prone section was between Gana to Kawang. Between the two points were two other villages, Kainiki and Madsiang.
“The stretch runs for about 15km and had not been officially handed over to the Public Works Department nor I understand been given the certificate of fitness yet. But it had been opened up for use though not fully ready and as a result has become an accident-prone road.”
He added that he himself had driven on the road to check the complaints made and found that there were no signages on the road leading to driving confusion adding there were no road marking as well “when I drove to Kota Kinabalu I found certain stretches of the road to be tricky.”
Patrick said that he was unable to tell the number of accidents that had so far occurred on the stretch but said he knew of several and some were serious with lives lost.
