[b]Close shave for triathletes, bus driver did not stop to
check
A group of 20 cyclists training for an upcoming Ironman competition
had a close shave on the road, when all of them fell while trying
to avoid a TIBS bus and one of them was nearly run over, said
STOMPer Edmund Oh.
"Routine morning training ride turned tragic for a group of
triathletes training for the coming Aviva Iron 70.3," Mr Oh said in
an email to STOMP on Saturday (14 July).
He said the accident happened at about 6.50am on Saturday, along
Sembawang Road, 50 metres before Dieppe Barracks.
"A TIBS bus Service 169 (TIB 1055) moved out of the bus bay without
checking blind spot.
"His action caused a group of 20 cyclists to brake or sway to the
side to avoid crashing into the bus.
"Unfortunately, one of the cyclists could not react fast enough. He
lost control and fell in front of the moving bus.
"Fortunately, the driver managed to stop the bus in time.
Otherwise, with another metre or so, the fallen cyclist would have
been run over and crushed to death by the bus," Mr Oh said.
He is also concerned that the driver did not stop to offer
help.
"A few minutes later, the driver drove off without even checking on
the condition of the cyclist or rendering first aid to the injured
cyclist, as the bus should have a first aid box," said Mr Oh.
"Could the relevant authorities please explain whether the action
of the driver is a common procedure practised by the company?
"Should drivers involved in an accident simply drive off without
even checking on the condition of the injured party or rendering
first aid to the victim?" he asked.
STOMP is contacting TIBs about this.
hey but before SL drive into the bus bay he should have noticed
these cyclist already what....it's just that he do not expect them
to go straight/come so fast hence he nvr check spot....
