A bus with 35 factory workers crashed onto its side at an interchange near Desa Pinggiran Putra here, causing a massive early morning jam heading towards Putrajaya.

Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Aziz Ali said the bus was going to Alamanda from Desa Pinggiran Putra when it skidded at the 3.7th kilometre of Persiaran Selatan and crashed into a metal barrier on the left side of the road yesterday.

One worker was badly injured while the others escaped with only minor injuries. All are believed to be foreigners. The wreckage blocked much of the road, causing the traffic to slow to a crawl during the rush hour.

The 27-year-old bus driver has been arrested to help in investigations under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act, for reckless driving.
