tour bus veered off the side of the road before overturning on Malaysia’s North-South Expressway
near Jasin in Melaka

Two others were also injured in the accident –
a 59-year-old Malaysian tour guide and a 42-year-old British national

The bus, which was carrying 12 people, was travelling from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur when the accident occurred at about 5am at the 177.6km mark on the expressway, said Bernama.
Jasin district police chief Lee Robert said preliminary investigations found that a lorry ahead of the bus had slowed down.

The driver was not injured, and neither were the other eight passengers, said Lee.
