Seven Killed in Accident on Jalan Sultan
(Newsworthy Event)
Seven people were killed in a collision between a bus, a car and a
truck at 10:35 p.m. on Jalan Sultan last night.
(Background Event)
The dead were all passengers in the car. Police believe the car may
have been trying to overtake the bus when it was struck by a truck
coming from the opposite direction. The driver of the car may not
have been using his lights, as the truck driver said he did not see
the car approaching.
(Sources)
The police said the car should not have been trying to pass the
bus, since overtaking is not allowed on Jalan Sultan. In addition,
the police reported that the car–a small Japanese car–should not
have been carrying more than five people. The names of the
victims are not yet known.
