Bukit Aman traffic investigation and enforcement department director Yusri Hassan Basri said 13 of the summonses were for speeding, three for not wearing a seatbelt, one for not having a third brake light, and another for involvement in a previous accident, Sinar Harian reported.

Earlier, Yusri announced that a special task force would be formed to investigate the crash. It will comprise the police, the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research, the road transport department, the Land Public Transport Agency, and other relevant bodies.

“We will complete the investigation papers as soon as possible. Our investigation will be thorough and cover all aspects, including the driver’s past offences, background, activities and career history,” he said.
