KUALA LUMPUR: A bus carrying university students back to their campus smashed into a minivan in northern Malaysia on Monday, killing at least 15 people, police and rescue services said.
Thirteen victims died at the scene near the town of Gerik, on the busy East-West Highway near the Thai border, while two died in hospital. The accident is the deadliest in more than a decade on Malaysia’s hazardous roads and came as students were returning to school after an Islamic public holiday over the weekend.
