Spare driver not guarantee of safety


The express bus carrying 29 passengers which skidded and crash at KM152 North-South Highway near exit of Bukit Tambun where a 29-year-old woman Norazah Azizan died during the 4.15am incident in Bukit Tambun, Nibong Tebal yesterday. - Starpic by MUSTAFA AHMAD / The Star / 27 March 2017.

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.
