Twenty-eight people, mostly Thai tourists, were killed Monday when their double-decker bus crashed after a trip to the Cameron Highlands in Malaysia's worst-ever coach accident. Police said the Thai holidaymakers were travelling along a winding road to the capital Kuala Lumpur for a flight home when their driver lost control of the vehicle, which crashed into a road divider and overturned into a ditch.
"The latest we have is that 28 people have now died in the accident, with three of them Malaysians, namely the driver, co-driver and tour guide and the rest being Thai tourists," said Zakaria Yusof, acting state police chief.
