51yo Woman Injured, Building Severely Damaged After Unmanned Bus Crashes Into Kuala Kangsar Eatery

A 51-year-old woman was left injured after a bus with no driver had rammed into a restaurant she was dining in on Jalan Daeng Selili, Kuala Kangsar, on Saturday (February 22).

According to a statement shared by Polis IPD Kuala Kangsar, Kuala Kangsar District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Heisham Harun, shared that his department received a call from the public in regards to his incident at about 10:30am.

He explained that the bus was stopped on the shoulder of the road, opposite the Kuala Kangsar Post Office, and moved on its own without a driver. The bus slowly moved into traffic and hit a car before ramming into the restaurant on the right side of the road, destroying the outer part of the building.

“The accident resulted in a 51-year-old Indian woman, who was having a drink at the restaurant, suffering a swollen calf injury due to being hit by stone fragments from the shop building,” he said, adding that no one else was injured in the incident.

This case is now being investigated under Regulation 14 of the Road Traffic Regulations 1959 (Rule 14 LN 166/59).

Videos of this incident have since been shared on social media, where the bus can be seen slowly moving from one side of a busy road in Kuala Kangsar, before ramming into a restaurant building on the other side of the road.
