Berlaku pada 6.00 petang semasa kesesakan lalu lintas di Jalan Tengah, Relau, Pulau Pinang. Kemalangan dikatakan berlaku di mana sebuah bas kilang ASE hilang kawalan kerana memandu laju akibat mengejar lampu trafik sebelum bertukar kepada merah. Akibat kerakusan pemandu bas dan pada masa yang sama segerombolan motosikal dari arah yang berlainan yang juga tidak sabar menunggu lampu hijau turut memecut. Akibatnya 6 buah motosikal menerima akibat bila bertembung dengan bas kilang tersebut. 3 daripada mereka maut dan yang paling mengerikan ada seorang penunggang motosikal tersangkut dan terheret di bawah bas.
Permasalahan yang berlaku di sini ialah sikap para pemandu yang masing-masing tidak sabar dan rakus dan yang paling malang tentulah pemandu motosikal khususnya yang amat terdedah dengan bahaya.
Adakah kerajaan perlu memasang strategi yang lain seperti dengan menggantikan lampu sedia ada dengan lampu trafik mengikut kiraan nombor untuk memastikan langkah keselamatan pada masa akan datang. Bersama kita beringat-ingat dan saling mengingati pemandu kita untuk lebih bersikap berhati-hati semasa memandu.

ReplyDeletesatu lagi, jalan situ cukup bahaya untuk kenderaan keluar masuk stesen minyak petronal/shell sebab banyak bas asyik parkir (secara haram) di bahu jalan menghalang pandangan di persimpangan.
tu la bro NaS, klu camni la, memang site ni jadi sumber rujukan! =D

tu la, malang sungguh nasib budak motor, semua
bila pemandu bas dok mengejar masa,
budak motor menjadi mangsa,
tak kira tua, muda, miskin ataupun yang kaya,
dibawah bas, mereka terlentang juga,
apalah nasib keluarga mereka,
anggota keluarga menjadi mangsa pemandu bas yang tergesa-gesa,
beringatlah sebelum kena,
apa pun bangsa semua sama sahaja,
patuhilah undang-undang Malaysia,
kalau tidak, mungkin kita akan jadi mangsa seterusnya..

Ang Gim Chye, 40, died on the spot while his wife, in her 30s, and the other victims were rushed to the Penang Hospital.
One of the victims is believed to be in critical condition.
The driver of the bus fled the scene which was at the junction of Jalan Tengah and Jalan Tun Dr Awang.
The accident occurred at 5.30pm when the bus was heading towards a factory in Bayan Lepas from the Penang International Sports Arena.
The driver was believed to have tried to avoid hitting a motorcycle before his bus veered into the opposite lane.
It grazed a car before ramming into the six motorcyclists travelling in the opposite direction.
One of the motorcycles, ridden by a man and his 10-year-old son, was dragged for several metres before the bus came to a stop.
The boy's helmet was found underneath the bus.
Ang, from Taman Tun Sardon here, was on his way home for dinner with his wife.
He worked at a goldsmith shop nearby.
At press time, the identities of the injured were not known. Efforts to talk to family members were futile.
Southwest police chief Superintendent Mohd Hatta Mohd Zin said police were now looking for the bus driver, who had yet to lodge a police report.
The accident caused a massive three-hour traffic standstill.
