That bus just totally lost the plot.
An out of control bus rammed into at least 10 vehicles along the North-South Expressway yesterday, leaving two people injured.
A video of the shocking incident, which happened Km265.8 near the Menora Tunnel, Ipoh at 2.45pm, showed the bus speeding along the already packed stretch before casually slamming into vehicles along its path.
Perak traffic police chief Supt Wan Jamil Wan Chik told The Star Online that traffic was already heavy on that stretch of the highway when the bus took the curve and tried to fit itself between two cars.
“The bus then rammed into the right side of one of the cars before hitting the left side of the other car. The bus did not stop and rammed into a third car in front, causing seven more cars to crash into one another,” he told the news site.
The driver has been held for further investigation.
Supt Wan Jamil was quoted as saying in a report by the Malay Mail that police would apply for a remand for the bus driver today.
“We will conduct a thorough investigation into this accident. It could be reckless driving but we will look at all angles including technical problems and the influence of drugs and alcohol,” he was quoted as saying.
