KENINGAU: Two men were injured when their Toyota single cab pickup truck skidded and crashed into a road divider along Jalan Sook-Nabawan early Monday.
The accident occurred at around 7.05am at Batu 27. One of the victims was identified as a 30-year-old man, while the age of the second victim was not immediately known.
Keningau Fire and Rescue Station Chief Faisal Ahmad said his team received an emergency call shortly after the crash occurred.
