Pedestrian dies, bus driver arrested in Ang Mo Kio accident

SINGAPORE: A 46-year-old woman died on Wednesday , after being trapped under the rear wheel of a bus along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3.“A 46-year-old female pedestrian was pronounced dead at scene by a paramedic.”The Singapore Civil Defence Force said officers extricated a person trapped under the rear wheel of a bus using hydraulic rescue equipment.

"We are deeply sorry that this has happened and are trying to get in touch with the next-of-kin to offer our condolences and assistance.""Meanwhile, we are assisting the police in its investigations," said Ms Tan.

What actually happened? The news only said 'careless driving' , it could mean many things or maybe the pedestrian was jay walking and walked into the blinds pot of the driver. I don't think any bus drivers are stupid enough to run someone over.

Straight away get arrested? No wonder some jobs cannot attract applicants

Should not ignore the human factor. In these Covid times the bus captain might be under increased stress from manpower, schedule or personal issues. The bus company should counsel such employees promptly

Careless, heartless.

一不小心，成千古恨！

In general, drivers attitude here in Singapore are actually really the worst. They don’t seem the understand that people walking on the road are the most vulnerable. Its so different from some European countries.

Lately the bus drivers are getting really aggressive in their driving..I hope something can be done to control such behavior!
