SEREMBAN: Five schoolchildren were hit by pieces of flying glass after their van was involved in an accident with a motorcycle en route to dropping them off at school.
The pupils of a primary school near Sendayan were then taken to the hospital for outpatient treatment.
Seremban OCPD Asst Comm Arifai Tarawe said the accident happened around 7.25am near a junction in Jalan Nusari Bayu 1 when the 65-year-old driver was ferrying about 10 pupils to school.
“The van was heading towards Taman Nusari Bayu 2 from Taman Nusari Aman 1 when the accident happened.
“Based on a preliminary probe, the van was turning right at a junction when a motorcyclist coming from the opposite direction crashed into it,” he said, adding that the 17-year-old motorcyclist suffered a broken right arm while the van driver and five other passengers escaped injury.
The case, he said, was being probed under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
