Thirty-seven die in bus plunge
At least 37 people are confirmed dead after a bus tumbled into a deep ravine on Wednesday in Malaysia’s worst-ever road accident.
Sixteen other passengers were injured, with hospitals reporting some in critical condition.
Authorities said the public transport bus was carrying 53 passengers when it went off the road and plunged down a 70-metre slope in the Genting Highlands, a gambling and entertainment resort about an hour’s drive from the capital Kuala Lumpur.
The driver was among those killed, reports said. Authorities have begun an investigation into the crash.
Most of the passengers onboard the bus were Malaysians.
Police said the bus was part of a regular line that ferries visitors between the capital and the hill resort.
Genting Highlands includes the country’s sole casino and attracts more than 20 million visitors per year.
