"Based on the initial report, the bus, carrying 28 passengers, was heading from Johor Bahru to Melaka. The accident caused the express bus to skid to the left side of the road.
"Other vehicles involved were a trailer, a three-tonne lorry, a Mazda car and a Toyota Innova," he said when contacted here today.
