IPOH: All 30 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris students who were injured when their bus overturned and landed in a ditch in Cameron Highlands have been discharged from the Ipoh Hospital.
A check at the hospital showed that they only suffered light injuries and were discharged yesterday morning.
The students were on a one-day trip to Cameron Highlands when the incident took place during heavy rain at 9.30pm on Saturday.
An injured passenger, who declined to be named, said they were part of a three-bus convoy that left the highlands at about 7pm to return to the university campus in Tanjung Malim.
“At about 9.30pm, we heard the bus driver shouting that the brakes were not working,” he said.
Moments later, the bus landed in the ditch, he said, adding that he and the other victims climbed out of the bus on their own before help arrived.
The incident occurred at the 12th kilometre of Jalan Simpang Pulai.
