Woke up early this morning as I wanted to prepare myself to go to the pool after resting at home for a day. Then I come to know about the news of a recent accident that happened again and it was just yesterday. Why is this happening again.
KUANTAN: Four German tourists were seriously injured in a three-vehicle accident at Km40 of Jalan Kuantan-Kemaman, near Cherating, yesterday.
The tourists' bus was rammed from behind by a trailer and then hit by a Proton Saga coming from the opposite direction.The 2.20pm accident caused the bus to land on its side.The injured tourists were identified as Norbert Scsolz and Zorngeb Heddergott, both 71, Anne Marie Johana, 64, and Zornhelmut Heimannn Paul, 67.The driver of the car, Abdul Jabbar Abu Samah, 52, of Malacca, suffered serious injuries, while the bus driver sustained minor cuts.
All five were sent to Kemaman Hospital and were said to be in a stable condition.
Just as the family of Nian Ning just lost and mourns of her death that happened between express bus from Penang to Kuala Lumpur which crashed near Slim River last Friday a week ago from today, more accidents is still happening..
