KUALA LUMPUR: Two people were killed and 16 others injured on Thursday (Jul 3) in southern Malaysia after the tour bus they were travelling on collided with two trucks, local media reported.
The crash near the town of Ayer Hitam, some 250km southeast of the capital Kuala Lumpur, was the second serious accident involving a bus in less than a month on the country’s perilous roads.
It “involved a tour bus, a Volvo truck and a tanker lorry”, Ayer Hitam fire and rescue chief Mohamad Shamin Mohamed Salikin said.
“Rescue personnel found two men trapped inside the bus and confirmed them dead at the scene,” he told the Bernama national news agency.
The men were both from Indonesia, he said.
