2 Killed, 22 injured in Malaysia tour bus accident

Two people were killed and 22 others were injured after a bus overturned on a winding mountain road in western Malaysia on Monday. The killed were two Indian tourists on board of a coach loaded with Indian holiday-makers. It lost control, struck a highway divider and overturned en route from the Genting Highlands resort to the capital Kuala Lumpur, district police official Mohamad Yusri Hasan Basri said. Police were investigating the cause of the accident, but the steep and curving road is prone to accidents. Deadly coach accidents are not uncommon in Malaysia, particularly in mountainous areas. In 2010, a bus traveling from another Malaysian highland resort crashed, killing 27 people, mostly Thai tourists, in the worst coach accident in the nation's history.
