TOKYO, Jan 22 — Japan has halted the restart of the world’s largest nuclear power plant just hours after it began, though the reactor remains “stable,” the operator said.
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 11 — A victim injured in a three-vehicle collision at Kilometre 441.2 of the North–South Expressway (PLUS) early this morning has died while undergoing treatment at Sungai Buloh Hospital.
Gombak police chief ACP Noor Ariffin Mohamad Nasir said the deceased was a 37-year-old bus passenger and one of seven passengers who sustained serious injuries in the 5.45am accident. A motorcyclist and a lorry driver were also injured and are receiving treatment at the same hospital.
He said preliminary investigations found that the express bus, which was travelling in the right lane, lost control and skidded into the road divider before stopping in the middle of the highway. A bonded lorry and a motorcycle travelling behind were unable to stop in time and crashed into the left side of the bus.
The motorcyclist and lorry driver suffered minor injuries, while the bus driver was unharmed.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for causing death by dangerous driving. Police have called on witnesses or those with information to contact Traffic Investigating Officer Insp Noor Farah Hanim Abu Bakar at 019-331 1552 or the Gombak District Police Headquarters Operations Room at 03-6126 2222.
Earlier, Selangor Fire and Rescue Department Operations Division assistant director Ahmad Mukhlis Mukhtar said 15 people were injured in the crash, with three sustaining serious injuries. All victims were taken to Sungai Buloh Hospital for treatment. — Bernama
