I REFER to the report “One killed, 20 hurt in bus crash” (The Star, March 28) on the express bus accident that occurred at around four in the morning on the North-South Expressway (NSE) near the Bukit Tambun exit (pic).

The police are investigating the cause of the accident, which occurred after the bus driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the divider before turning over sideways on the highway.
