KOTA KINABALU: Police are investigating why a container was left on the shoulder of Jalan Sepanggar near Sepanggar Port before it fell and crushed a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), killing a man and his daughter yesterday.
Sabah Police Commissioner Datuk Jauteh Dikun said investigations would determine whether the container was placed there intentionally or due to unavoidable circumstances.
He said police were recording statements from witnesses to establish the exact cause of the incident while assessing road safety in the area.
"Although the container was placed by the roadside, its size and height could obstruct the view of road users and pose a serious safety risk.
