Bus slams into six cars at traffic junction

KUALA TERENGGANU: Some 20 passengers of a stage bus escaped injuries but were left shaken after the bus suffered a brake failure and slammed into cars at a traffic light junction in front of a petrol station in Batu Buruk.

The bus came to a halt after smashing into six cars. A woman driver of one of the cars, in her 20s, was injured in the 3.15pm incident and was admitted to the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital.

Bus passenger Nur Shamini Mat Lazim, 21, said she was asleep at the time when she was woken up by a loud bang and the situation became chaotic.

"When I looked out, I saw cars smashed up in front of the bus," said Nur Shamini, a college student in Setiu. Fearing the worst, passengers began to rush out, she added.

Another passenger, Nur Azleen Rozelan, 18, said she bumped her head against the front seat and sustained minor injuries. -- Bernama.
