ASAJAYA: An elderly pastor was killed in a two-vehicle collision along Jalan Sungai Buluh-Sadong Jaya yesterday (May 28)

The accident, involving a Perodua Aruz and a Nissan Vanette, happened at around 12.20 pm near Kampung Senangeh.

Kota Samarahan police chief Supt Damataries Lautin said the van driven by the victim had skidded out of control and collided with the oncoming Aruz, which was travelling to Sarawak Heart Centre from Simunjan.

“As a result, the victim, identified as Abdul Mutang, 70, from Kampung Long Sukang, Lawas, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

“His body was taken to the Sarawak General Hospital (SGH) for a post-mortem,” he said when contacted.

Meanwhile, the 46-year-old Aruz driver with his wife and son as passengers, escaped unscathed in the accident.

Damataries said police are looking for witnesses to assist with investigations.

The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
