JOHOR BAHRU: Sebuah bas henti-henti milik syarikat pengangkutan
Singapura yang mengalami kerosakan brek merempuh enam kereta yang
diletakkan di tempat letak kereta sebuah hotel di pusat bandar raya
di sini, petang semalam.
Dalam kejadian jam 4 petang itu, bas terbabit dalam perjalanan dari

Pemandu bas berkenaan yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Bala
berkata, beliau gagal mengawal kenderaannya ketika mengambil
selekoh dari Jalan Wong Ah Fook ke Jalan Gereja selepas mengalami
kerosakan brek.
Katanya, ketika kejadian, basnya kosong kerana baru menurunkan
penumpang di depan sebuah pusat beli-belah dan dalam perjalanan
pulang ke Singapura.
Ketika mengambil selekoh, tiba-tiba saya mendapati brek gagal
berfungsi, walaupun bas bergerak perlahan, tetapi saya gagal
mengawalnya sehingga terbabas menaiki pembahagi jalan dan merempuh
pagar sebelum melanggar enam kereta, katanya.
Sementara itu, seorang pemilik kereta yang dikenali sebagai
Nazrena, 26, berkata beliau meletakkan keretanya tidak sampai lima
minit apabila kejadian itu berlaku.
Jurucakap polis trafik ketika ditemui di tempat kejadian berkata,
tiada sebarang kecederaan dilaporkan dan pemandu bas dan pemilik
kenderaan sudah membuat laporan polis.[b][/b]
Singapore-owned bus crashes into 6 cars
A citybus belonging to a Singapore transportation company suffered
a brake failure and crashed into 6 cars which was parked at a hotel
in the city centre yesterday afternoon.
The bus was on its way back to Singapore when it hit the road
divider and crashed onto the parked cars at around 4pm.
The driver who only wanted to be known as Bala, said that he lost
control of the bus while negotiating a bend from Jalan Wong Ah Fook
to Jalan Gereja when it suffered a brake failure.
He added, when the accident happened, the bus was empty because he
had just disembarked the passengers in front of a shopping mall and
was on his way back to Singapore.
"While negotiating the bend, suddenly I found that the brake failed
to function, and although the bus was travelling at a low speed, I
lost control of the bus and caused it to hit the road divider and
the fence before ramming 6 cars," he said.
Meanwhile, a car-owner, Nazrena, 26, said that she had just parked
her car barely five minutes earlier when the accident
happened.
There were no injuries reported and the bus driver as well as the
car0owners have lodged their police reports, said a Traffic Police
spokesman at the scene.
