JPN: Tour bus crash injures occupants
A tour bus collided head-on with a truck at 9:40am (8.40am SGT) on National Highway No. 5, in Nanae Town in southern Hokkaido. The bus was bound for Sapporo, the island's largest city, when the accident took place. There were 33 Singaporeans onboard the tour bus when the accident occurred, and half of them suffered minor injuries. A further 14 non-Singaporeans were hurt in the crash as well, although only one was severely hurt. Unfortunately, the drivers of both the tour bus and the truck were not as lucky, for they were killed in the crash.

Mazda shatters 20 FIA speed records
Mazda shattered 20 FIA speed records at the ATP test oval in Papenburg, Germany. Three of the convention-challenging carmaker’s Mazda6 flagships powered by 129kW/175ps SKYACTIV-D 2.2-litre clean diesels completed a 24-hour marathon run on the high-speed track on Sunday, with the front car achieving an average speed of 137.37mph and the other two close behind. The current record for diesel-powered production cars (2.0-2.5 litre displacement) is 130.38mph. Each of the three Mazdas also set several other average speed records over a variety of distances.
At the wheel of the cars, which covered more than 3293.3 miles during the 24-hour period, were 23 drivers from seven EU countries. They included professionals as well as journalists and car enthusiasts, who could apply to take part as part of a campaign started by Mazda last May.
