Nine Indonesian migrant workers were killed in an automobile crash in Serawak, Malaysia, on Wednesday, after a vehicle they had ridden on collided with a truck.
The accident took place on the kilometer 38th of Sri Aman-Sarikei road. All the ill-fated workers were from Sambas regency in the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan.
Suwandi, 36, a relative of one of the victims, said the remains of all the victims were still in a hospital in Serawak.
“The remains cannot be taken out of the hospital yet because they're still undergoing autopsy,” he said Thursday in Sambas, as quoted by kompas.com.
Suwandi said the workers were traveling home to Sambas for the upcoming Idul Fitri holiday when the accident claimed their lives.
