i posted this in the accident and breakdown thread, JUST ONE MINUTE BEFORE YOU POST Laughing and like you, i thought it was at sungei road. but it isn't , its at the junction of serangoon road/bukit timah road.

SINGAPORE: A man died after he was knocked down by a bus at the junction of Serangoon Road and Bukit Timah Road, in front of Tekka Mall on Sunday afternoon.

Police were called to the scene just before 12 noon.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead shortly after.

Channel NewsAsia understands that the man was a Nepalese student.

The bus driver is assisting police with their investigations

i witnessed the whole accident. i was at tekka mall traffic junction waiting for the traffic light. the traffic light turn amber but SBS 2787 just chiong through. the man thought the vehicles would stop coz so he cross the road but the bus just chiong through. then i think the bus driver saw the man so he quickly applied the brakes but it was too late. the man was flung up and he hit the traffic light pole. he dies instantly

there were many people waiting for the traffic and all screamed in shocked when the man was flung up Sad

at first i thought the victim was a bangala.... about 6 to 7 police cars came to the scene

dragg SG

most people just assume vehicles will stopped and thus its safe to cross whenever the red light is on.

but it is better to cross only after the vehicles have come to a complete halt.

RIP.

Read the Zaobao today and it reported that a SMRT Bus (Sv 855) was involved in a collision over at Lentor Ave(yesterday afternoon)

The newspaper report metioned Sv855 under SBST control Laughing

Lots of road users (not just BCs) like to chiong through traffic light when turning red and lots of pedastrians assume driver will stop for them at traffic light and chiong across the road immediately after the green man lights up. This is the simple reason behind such accidents... RIP to the poor guy who was killed Crying or Very sad
