Air Force to probe cause of road crash involving cadets at Bkt Jugra

The Air Force has formed a board of inquiry to determine the cause of a road crash involving 29 air cadet officers from the Reserve Officers Training Unit (Palapes) and three trainers at Bukit Jugra, Banting, Selangor, yesterday.

A statement issued by the Air Force said 25 cadet officers and three trainers had been discharged from hospital today.

The remaining four cadet officers are still undergoing treatment, one at Klang Hospital and the others at Banting Hospital, it said.

In the 3.30pm incident, the cadet officers and trainers were travelling in a three-tonne truck when it skidded and overturned, believed to be due to brake failure, while descending a hill at Bukit Jugra.

The Palapes air cadet officers and trainers were supposed to attend field training which begins today. — Bernama
