KOTA KINABALU: It took firemen to recover the body of an elderly man trapped beneath the cement tanker he was driving after it skidded off the road and plunged into a ravine along Mile 18, Sandakan-Lahad Datu.
The victim, identified as Abd Halim Bolong, 72, was only extracted around noon on Monday (Sept 23) due to the difficulties in pulling the cement tanker out from the 10-metre-deep ravine.
