It is understood that the 4WD’s driver somehow lost control of the vehicle and swerved into the opposite lane, leading to the collision with the oncoming bus.

The driver of the bus plying the Kapit-Sibu route is said to have been on his way to town for refuelling when the collision occurred.

The bus was not carrying any passengers at the time of the mishap.

Both drivers were brought to Sibu Hospital for further observation and treatment.
