Tour bus collides with trucks in Malaysia, killing 2 Indonesians

The crash near the town of Ayer Hitam, some 250km (156 miles) 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.

Sixteen other passengers, including the bus driver, were injured and taken to hospital, while 28 others were unhurt.
