Motorcyclist "brushed past" the bus: SBS Transit

In response to Mothership's queries, Grace Wu, SBS Transit’s vice president for customer experience and communications, said that its service 851 bus was travelling straight along Victoria Street with the green light in its favour at about 7:35am, when a motorcyclist "suddenly rode out from Bras Basah Road and brushed past" the front of the bus before continuing onto the adjoining lanes.

"We are sorry to hear about the passing of the motorcyclist and wish to extend our deepest condolences to his family," Wu added.

Mothership understands that the bus captain and the passengers onboard were not injured in the incident.
