KIMANIS: Two men were injured when a six-tonne lorry skidded off the road along Jalan Kimanis-Keningau early on Tuesday.

The Fire and Rescue Department said the incident occurred at around 3.10am, with an emergency team from the Kimanis Fire Station arriving at the scene 25 kilometres away within 25 minutes.

Both victims, a 30-year-old man and a 26-year-old man, had already been pulled from the vehicle by members of the public before the firefighters arrived. They were taken to hospital in a private vehicle for treatment.
