Kota Kinabalu: A 22-year-old man had a lucky escape after his Nissan Navara crashed into a fallen tree along Jalan Kolam on Wednesday.
The incident occurred around 11pm when he was driving towards the Hilltop area from the city centre.
With the streetlights not functioning, the stretch was dark, resulting in poor visibility.
The man failed to notice the fallen tree in time and his Navara crashed into it.
Fortunately, the driver was not injured, but the front end of his vehicle was damaged.
A team from the Civil Defence Force was at the scene to clear the fallen tree.
Those from the Fire and Rescue Station also arrived at the scene.
However, the tree was already cleared by the Civil Defence Team by the time they arrived.
