Police investigating at the scene.

A car after it overturned.

An accident involving three vehicles occurred yesterday around 2pm near the Public Works Department's (JKR's) Water Plant in Pekan Bangar, causing a massive traffic jam along the Batang Duri road leading to the town.

One saloon car was damaged after being hit by another and a third car overturned. One of the drivers, a local man, was rushed to the PIHM Temburong hospital to receive further treatment.

The cars that were involved had blocked the road so other vehicles could not get through. The police as well as Fire and Rescue personnel rushed to the scene to provide assistance.

It took some 30 minutes to remove the affected cars from the road and for the traffic flow to return to normal.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation. In relation to this incident, the police continue to remind road users to always be cautious when driving, especially maintain the speed limit to avoid accidents from occurring.
