International bus involved in crash

ENTIKONG, West Kalimantan: A bus serving Pontianak in West Kalimantan and Kuching in the Malaysian state of Serawak collided with a van 30 kilometers from the Malaysian border.

All 20 passengers aboard the bus escaped unhurt although the vehicle suffered heavy damage, Antara reported yesterday.

Tuesday's collision reportedly occurred because the van, which was in front of the bus, slowed up suddenly to make a right turn without prior warning. (emb)
