JOHOR BARU: Four workers heading to Singapore were injured when their factory van crashed into a broken-down workers’ bus on the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL).
The collision occurred at 4.45am at Km0.2 of the highway, involving a van driven by a 28-year-old Malaysian man carrying three passengers.
Johor Baru (South) police chief Assistant Commissioner Azrul Hishan Mohd Shaffei said investigations found that the van was travelling towards Singapore when it approached the stationary factory bus, which had broken down in the right lane.
The driver is believed to have failed to notice the bus in time and could not avoid the collision on the slightly curved stretch of road.
The van hit the bus’s rear left side.
The van driver sustained injuries to his body and legs.
The three passengers also suffered injuries, including head wounds.
Azrul Hishan said the case was being investigated under Section 43(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless driving.
