The incident, which happened near the Menora Tunnel, Ipoh at 2:45pm, caused traffic to come to a standstill after an out-of-control express bus rammed into at least 10 cars on the southbound lane. 2 passengers were injured as a result.

A video recording showed the bus driver speeding along the highway. Despite the heavy traffic on that stretch, the bus proceeded to squeeze between the 2 lanes, before ramming into vehicles along its path.

“The bus then rammed into the right side of one of the cars before hitting the left side of the another car. The bus did not stop and rammed into a 3rd car in front, causing 7 more cars to crash into one another,” said Perak traffic police chief Supt Wan Jamil Wan Chik.

The vehicle has since been identified as a STAR QISTNA express bus, with the number plate BLB 6936. Investigations have been carried out to see whether the bus had encounter brake problems or if the driver had simply dozed off.

“The Perak police take this matter seriously and will conduct a thorough investigation involving technical, negligence, the influence of drugs and alcohol as well as other issues,” Supt Wan Jamil said via WhatsApp.
