KUALA KRAI: Two men were killed in separate accidents involving heavy machinery here this evening, said Kuala Krai district police chief Supt Mazlan Mamat. Mazlan said in the first incident at about 2.50 pm, a Thai national, aged 49, was killed after the backhoe he was driving fell off a cliff in the Ladang Dabong area, near Kilometre 27 of Jalan Sungai Sam-Dabong. 'At the time of the accident, the victim was driving the backhoe to take a break and was passing through a hilly area. 'The backhoe skidded and fell off the cliff, causing the victim to be thrown out and subsequently crushed by the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene,' Mazlin said in a statement today.
