The family of an 84-year-old woman has filed a police report after
she fell from an SBS Transit bus which
allegedly moved off while she was getting down at a bus stop.
Madam Yeo Hock Imm, who underwent a procedure to replace her
right hip joint at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, is now looking at three
to four weeks of recovery in Ang Mo Kio Community Hospital.
‘We want to find out what happened – why the driver did that,
and drove away,’ claimed her son Joseph Tan, 46, who filed the
police report on the day of the accident on March 4.
