A horrific express bus crash which claimed 12 lives at the Simpang Ampat toll plaza in Alor Gajah.The Transport Ministry has wrapped up its investigation on this year’s worse road accident involving two buses, a van and two cars at the 223km of the North-South Expressway near the Simpang Ampat toll plaza in Negri Sembilan on Oct 10 in which 13 lives were lost and 40 others seriously injured.
Investigations by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research, Road Transport Department, Road Safety Department and Puspakom have cleared the bus company of scheduling flaws, as well as the condition of the main Delima Ekspres bus involved.
It was reported in a daily yesterday that a speeding black Proton Satria could have caused the tragic road crash.
The unsubstantiated claim was the Satria driver overtook the Delima Ekspres bus at high speed, knocking into it while moving into the same lane, causing the bus driver to lose control and crash into the guardrails before moving onto the other side of the highway where the pile-up occurred.
