NILAI: Four Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (Usim) undergraduates were rushed to the Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital (TJH) for treatment after a bus ferrying them to the university was involved in an accident near Nilai Square on Tuesday (Feb 8) morning.

Usim in a statement said the bus, which had fetched the students from their hostels earlier, landed on its side after the driver tried to avoid a collision with a car in front.

"Seventeen students, who were heading for lectures, were in the specially chartered bus when the accident happened.

"Four were sent to the TJH while the others were sent to a health centre at the university for outpatient treatment," it said in a statement.

The driver also sustained minor injuries.
