A section of the Pan Borneo Highway is believed to have collapsed due to high water currents caused by tornadoes from nearby mountains caused by incessant heavy rains in the area.
A video shared on Vibes The Twitter account from PKR Sarawak chief information officer Abun Sui Anyit shows half of the road collapsing into a ravine, creating a waterfall in the process.
The Department of Public Works in the nearest town of Kapit has issued a public notice telling people to avoid this stretch of road. For now, the area is closed to all vehicles and repair works have begun.
If you happen to be in the area, take note and stay safe.
