Seven people were reportedly killed and 33 others injured in a collision involving three vehicles on the northbound lane of the North-South Expressway (PLUS) in Malaysia on Monday (Dec 23).

Melaka Fire and Rescue Department director Mohd Pisar Aziz said the accident occurred around 8.40pm near the Ayer Keroh Rest and Service Area (R&R).

The crash involved a tour bus carrying 27 passengers, a trailer, and a Toyota Estima multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

The seven fatalities included three men, three women, and a child.

Accident may have been triggered by dislodged tyre

Among the victims were five people in the Toyota Estima, including two adult men, two adult women, and a toddler.

The MPV, which had eight passengers, was completely crushed between the tour bus and the trailer.

One male victim’s body was severed above the waist due to the force of the collision.

Initial investigations suggest the MPV was likely en route from Johor to Kuala Lumpur when the crash occurred.

According to Bernama, the accident may have been triggered when a tyre from a southbound lorry became dislodged and landed in the middle of the road.

The tour bus driver, travelling in the same direction with 27 passengers aboard, was unable to avoid the tyre and hit it, causing him to lose control.

The bus then skidded into the opposite lane, colliding with a car before crashing into the lorry and MPV.

As a result, the car veered into the left lane and struck the road barrier.

Victims identified, including Singaporean woman

The police have since identified all seven victims killed in the crash.

Among them were Khairul Ikhwan Mazupi, 32, the driver of the MPV, and his two-year-old son, Muhammad Umar, both from Selangor.

Also identified were passengers Fadzlenna Ramli, 32, and her 67-year-old father, Ramli Ab Wahab, from Kuala Lumpur, as well as the 56-year-old tour bus driver, Noorisnien Khamid, from Johor.

The other two victims were Fauziah Jaafar, 69, a passenger in the MPV, and Lamrah Asid Ali, 66, a Singaporean passenger on the tour bus.

The remains of the victims were sent to Melaka Hospital for autopsies.

33 injured hospitalised for medical treatments

As for the injured, 17 were sent to Melaka Hospital, 10 to Alor Gajah Hospital, and six to Pantai Ayer Keroh Hospital.

A team of 27 personnel was dispatched to the scene and spent approximately 40 hours carrying out the operation, which included removing the wrecked vehicles.

The northbound stretch from Ayer Keroh Toll Plaza was fully closed, and traffic was redirected, causing over four hours of congestion as the middle and right lanes remained blocked on Monday night (23 Dec).

It's human nature to swerve to avoid a tyre.

But should just stay in lane.

Resist braking resist swerving. 

MY bus drivers many kopi O licence and long hours maybe take drugs to stay awake.

His seat is the most dangerous seat. Only the windscreen between him and the vehicle in front.

Same like I never like driving a van because the driver's legs is the front crumple zone.

Last time my old driving instructor told me, when driving late night on deserted road, there's a tendency to go fast. Suddenly if see chicken dash across the road, don't brake and don't swerve, just carry on like never see it. Told me, at night won't have chickens running around, it's something supernatural trying to cause accident !
