KUCHING: Two men were killed while a teenage girl sustained serious injuries in a four-vehicle collision on Jalan Tun Jugah here on Thursday night.

Acting Kuching Police District chief, Supt Merbin Lisa said the incident occurred a little after midnight when a car driven by a 37-year-old man was believed to have skidded into the opposite lane, colliding with another vehicle driven by a 40-year-old man who had a 14-year-old girl as a passenger.
