A 70-year-old bus driver with public transport operator Go-Ahead Singapore is currently assisting with police investigations following a hit-and-run incident involving four vehicles along Loyang Rise on Jan. 20.
Bus drove into landed estate
The incident first came to public attention following a video posted on the Instagram page @sgfollowsall.
The video, which appears to be closed-circuit television (CCTV) front door camera footage from a resident, shows a bus turning into a narrow road within a landed housing estate.
In another video, which was uploaded onto the Facebook community page Land Transport Guru, the bus could be seen driving down the centre of two lanes in the estate and narrowly missing several parked vehicles.
In a Facebook post that evening, Go-Ahead Singapore said the bus was involved in a traffic incident along Loyang Rise, following a temporary closure of Loyang Avenue (towards Tampines Avenue 7).
The operator said the bus captain involved had "made an incorrect turn into Loyang Rise and grazed several vehicles parked along the roadside".
Go-Ahead Singapore apologised to the public, adding that it was conducting "a safety time-out with all [its] bus captains to reinforce adherence to established procedures".
It did not state whether there were passengers on board at the time of the incident.
In response to Mothership's queries, the police confirmed they were alerted to a hit-and-run accident involving three cars and a bus along Loyang Rise at about 5:05am.
No injuries were reported.
Police also added that the bus driver is currently assisting with investigations.
Pasir-Ris Changi GRC MP Valerie Lee aware of incident
Pasir Ris-Changi GRC Member of Parliament (MP) Valerie Lee said in a Facebook post later on Tuesday that she had been informed of the incident and monitored developments throughout the day.
She added that she visited the estate in the evening to check on residents and spoke to those who were at home at the time.
"I am grateful to the residents I met for their understanding, calmness, and for being more concerned about the safety of everyone in the estate despite the situation," she said.
Lee also affirmed that Go-Ahead Singapore has been rendering assistance to affected residents, and that relevant agencies are following up on the matter.
In a follow-up post on Jan. 22, Lee encouraged residents who were affected to reach out if they required further assistance or support.
She also urged members of the public to refrain from speculating about the cause of the incident.
"Lastly, let us not forget the 70-year-old bus captain involved. He may also be traumatised by what happened. We do not yet know what led to the incident, so it is important that we refrain from speculation."
Mothership has contacted Go-Ahead Singapore for further information.
