A coach hit two cars yesterday morning on Friendship Bridge, and one of the two cars then rear-ended a third car, apparently after the coach experienced brake failure. The driver of one of the cars and four passengers on the coach suffered minor injuries.
Public Security Police (PSP) spokeswoman Lei Wa Seong said during a regular press conference yesterday that shortly after 8 a.m. yesterday the coach, a Taipa-bound shuttle bus carrying staff members, first sideswiped a car, after the coach driver could not get the brakes to work.
The coach driver in his forties told PSP officers that the brakes failed to work so he could not slow down or stop, according to Lei.
