Some 20 passengers of a stage bus escaped injuries but were left shaken after the vehicle they were travelling in developed a brake problem and slammed into cars at a traffic light junction in front of a petrol station in Batu Buruk.
The bus came to a halt after smashing into six cars. A woman driver of one of the cars, in her 20s, was injured in the 3.15pm incident and was admitted to the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital.
A passenger, Nur Shamini Mat Lazim, 21, said she was asleep at that time when she was woken up by a loud bang and the situation became chaotic.
“When I look out, I saw cars were smashed up in front of the bus,” said Nur Shamini, a college student in Setiu.
Fearing for the worst, passengers began to rush out, she added.
Another passenger, Nur Azleen Rozelan, 18, said she bumped her head into the seat in front of her and sustain minor injuries.
