Tour bus carrying Vietnamese tourists crashes in Genting, no serious injuries reported
KUANTAN: A tour bus carrying mostly Vietnamese nationals crashed into two cars while descending from Genting Highlands in Bentong this afternoon, but no serious injuries were reported.
Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the 5pm incident at Km17.3 involved a bus driven by a local man with 21 passengers, including a tour guide, on board.
"The bus went out of control before hitting the rear of a Perodua Myvi and a Toyota Innova, forcing all three vehicles onto the road shoulder.
"The bus driver sustained minor injuries, while all passengers escaped unhurt.
"The Myvi driver also suffered minor injuries and was taken to Bentong Hospital by members of the public, while the passengers were unharmed.
"The Toyota Innova driver and passengers also did not sustain any injuries," he said in a statement today.
A Pahang Fire and Rescue Department spokesman said the bus was travelling from Genting Highlands to Batu Caves, Gombak, at the time of the crash.
He said a Light Fire Rescue Tender (LFRT) with three personnel from the Genting Fire and Rescue Station was deployed to the scene.
