Yet another 307 bus meet into accident.... (4th 307 bus to meet
into accident within half a year after 1586E -- march,
1538U -- june and 1574P -- june)
Time: 1250hrs
Location: Teck Whye Ave (Traffic light that link
between Blk 4 and Teck Whye market)
Bus involved: SMB1575L (307AM06)
Service: 307E
SMB1575L
rear-ended a car (driven by a malay family) at the
above-mentioned traffic light. Car had its rear windscreen smashed
and rear bumper damaged. Bus right side signal light area
completely gone but from what i see from another bus, no other
visible damage to the bus. Bus was driven by a very young
friendly malaysian BC (I know the name but will not post here)
who just drove 307 for around 1 month. Boarded his bus
before a number of times and he is usually very careful
and patient so im not sure what happened that caused this accident.
LTA officer was there when i passby there...
BC seen driving 1538U (307AM01) yesterday and was driving 1586E
(307S102) today...so i guess he is fine??
Heard from other BC saying that the car jam braked upon seeing
orange light and 1575L could not stop in time even though there was
at least 1 car distance.. car stop beyond traffic light stop line
and 1575L hit the car on the stop line itself...
