Andy Ali, Chief of Sibu Branch of Zone 4 of the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department, stated that the 64-year-old victim was extracted from the severely damaged vehicle, but was confirmed dead by the hospital.
“When the fire department arrived at the scene, they found the victim unconscious and trapped inside the car. The hospital subsequently confirmed that the victim had died,” he said in an interview.
According to Andy, the department received an emergency call at 11:38 a.m. and then dispatched a team from the Sungai Merah Fire and Rescue Station to the accident site, located about 19 kilometers from the station.
Rescuers found two victims trapped in a vehicle, including a 74-year-old man who was seriously injured and the deceased woman.
The fire department used specialized equipment and a spinal board to extricate the victims, who were then handed over to the Malaysian Ministry of Health for further treatment.
Andy stated that the male victim is currently receiving treatment in the hospital's red zone due to serious injuries.
This rescue operation involved a rapid response vehicle and an emergency medical rescue service vehicle, with assistance from the Royal Malaysia Police, ambulance services, and the Malaysian Civil Defense Force.
