Forty-nine of the 63 summonses issued on the express bus which slammed into 10 cars on the North-South Expressway (NSE), near the Menora Tunnel, last Sunday, were for exceeding the speed limit.

Perak police Traffic Investigation and Enforcement chief Supt Wan Jamil Wan Chik said the bus also had nine summonses for moving slowly in the right lane.

"Besides these, it has two summonses for being driven out of control, two summonses when the driver failed to show his driving licence, and one for overtaking at a prohibited location.

"All the summonses are unsettled since 2011 until now," he told reporters after 'Op Selamat 7/2016' at Km29 Ipoh-Lumut road, near Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), in Parit today.

Last Sunday afternoon, a Star QisTna express bus, which was on its way from Penang to Kuala Lumpur, careened out of control on the sloping stretch of the NSE at Km265.8, and smashed into 10 cars.

It's believed the brakes of the bus were faulty.

However, all 28 bus passengers and its driver were reportedly unhurt in the incident, and no serious injuries were sustained by the drivers and passengers of the cars involved.
