Seven people were killed in a collision between a bus, a car, and a truck

on Jalan Sultan at 10:30 p.m. last night. The dead were all passengers of the car.

The driver of the car might not be using his lights, as the truck driver said he did

not see the car approaching.

The police said the car should not have tried to pass the bus, since

overtaking is not allowed on Jalan Sultan. In addition, the police reported that the

car, a small Japanese car, should not have been carrying more than five people. If

the passengers had brought their identity cards, the police would have

identified the names of the victims easily.
