A 32-year-old man suffered injuries to his right shoulder after he crashed his car at Jalan Sealine on Sunday night.

Miri Civil Defence Force (APM) said a five-member team was deployed to the scene after receiving a call from a male complainant at 10.38pm.

“Upon arrival, the team was informed by the victim that he had wanted to avoid hitting a dog that was crossing the road before the car he was driving skidded off the road and plunged into the roadside ditch.

“An inspection found that the victim was having breathing difficulties and had sustained injuries to his right shoulder,” APM said in a statement.

The APM personnel gave the victim first aid at the scene before transporting him to Miri Hospital for further treatment.
