In the second mishap, three people were hurt while another left unscathed following a collision near the Serusup junction at Jalan Tuaran in the wee hours of Wednesday.
Tuaran fire station chief Kurong Ak Beki said they received a distress call at around 3.25am.
He said three people in one car were hurt, while the 45-year-old driver from the other vehicle escaped without injuries.
The injured victims were taken to the hospital for further treatment, he said.
