DUI driver cheats death

...and fled the scene


A DUI (Driving Under Influence) suspected driver somehow cheated death when his vehicle rammed into the back of a stationary lorry at Jalan Bako lateTuesday night.

The drunken driver, was speeding in the direction of Muara Tebas when he crashed into the lorry's carriage.

He was trapped inside the mangled wreck and passing motorists feared the worst until they went to check on his condition however to their amazement, found that he had only suffered a small cut to his chin and minor scratches to his arms.

Earlier the small truck had stopped by the roadside after having a flat battery where two of the men trying to repair the vehicle were nearly knocked down by the DUI vehicle.

The duo suffered scratches and bruises to their head and body, but were otherwise unhurt.

A passing motorist later sent the injured duo, along with the DUI driver to the Sarawak General Hospital for treatment.

However, the DUI driver fled the hospital grounds on foot as soon as he stepped out of the vehicle without seeking treatment, while the other two men were warded for their injuries.
