LIMBANG: A 24-year-old security guard was killed in a self-accident along Jalan Kampung Bakol here at about 6 pm on yesterday (Tues, Feb 17).
The victim, who was from Kampung Lubuk Tuan, was believed to be on his way to work when the incident occurred.

Medical personnel who arrived at the scene later confirmed that the victim died at the location due to serious injuries.
The body was subsequently taken to the hospital for further action.
