Hey there! Let's dive into a harrowing event that occurred recently on the North-South Expressway, Malaysia. Buckle up, as we're about to delve into a tale involving a bus, a drain, and some scares!
June 4 marked the day when an express bus bound for Kuala Lumpur's Southern Integrated Terminal (TBS) from Penang took an unexpected detour. The bus driver, a 31-year-old individual, apparently succumbed to micro sleep and lost control of the vehicle at Kilometer 342.2, near Slim River, Perak.
Tapah District Police chief, Supt Johari Yahya, shared the shocking details, explaining that the vehicle veered off the road and into a drain on the left side, resulting in damage to the front, rear, left, and right sides of the bus. Phew, that sounds like one heck of a ride!

Mercifully, all passengers and the driver were able to escape the chaotic situation, albeit, three passengers ended up with minor injuries and were treated at Slim River Hospital. The rest of the passengers, luckily, were unharmed and continued their journey on a replacement bus. Whew, that's a relief!
Further investigations revealed that the driver tested negative for drugs, and there hasn't been any arrest made as of yet. The case is being looked into under Rule 10 of LN 166/59 for causing minor injuries. Additionally, checks confirmed that the bus's insurance is valid until March next year.
Now, you might be wondering, "What about that 'Versa' bus company thing?" Well, based on the information currently available, the incident was not mentioned in relation to any specific bus company named "Versa." The only company mentioned is the Southern Integrated Terminal as the destination, not as the bus operator. Keep your eyes peeled for any updates on that front!
