Minibus seen speeding down sloped road in Indonesia<\/h3>\n

In what appeared to be CCTV footage, the minibus is earlier seen speeding down a steeply sloped road.<\/p>\n

As it veered from the left lane to the right lane, it let out a loud screech and swayed from side to side.<\/p>\n

It left a cloud of dust in its wake as it disappeared round a bend.<\/p>\n

A man who stood by the roadside ran away, having seen something.<\/p>\n

A bang is heard, then the minibus smashes head-first into the white car, causing it to flip over.<\/p>\n

The minibus then hit a telephone pole, which stopped it from going farther.<\/p>\n

Minibus brakes reportedly failed 300m before crash<\/h3>\n

The accident took place at 11.45am local time (12.40pm Singapore time) on Saturday on the highway leading to Ngadas Village in Probolinggo Regency of Indonesia’s Java Island, reported Detik.com.<\/p>\n

The route is popular with tourists travelling to and from Mount Bromo.<\/p>\n

The minibus, a Toyota HiAce, was carrying the six Singaporean tourists from the mountain to Surabaya when it encountered suspected brake failure, said the Probolinggo Police Traffic Unit.<\/p>\n

The brakes are suspected to have overheated, making them ineffective when going down a steep incline.<\/p>\n

The group’s tour guide, named Yopi, said the minibus’ brakes failed about 300m before the crash.<\/p>\n

Minibus struck 4 other vehicles<\/h3>\n

As the vehicle was travelling at 75 km\/h, this caused it to go out of control on the sloping road and hit four other vehicles.<\/p>\n

Behind the wheel was a substitute driver, he added.<\/p>\n

The police said the minibus came to a stop only when it hit the pole, thankfully avoiding about 30 residents holding a celebration nearby.<\/p>\n

8 people injured, sent to hospital<\/h3>\n

Besides the six Singaporeans, two other people who were in the other vehicle were injured in the accident.<\/p>\n

Footage showed the minibus passengers being helped out of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
