Chitchat Mt. A Shuttle Bus Plows Into Sinkies At Bus Stop! Unlucky 13 Injured!

[JohnTan]

SINGAPORE - Thirteen people were injured after a Mount Alvernia shuttle bus heading towards Bishan ploughed into a bus stop along Braddell Road on Wednesday (July 26).

The Straits Times understands that the driver suffered serious injuries and was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH).

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the accident at 12.10pm and dispatched two fire engines, four ambulances and two support vehicles.


Nine casualties - including the driver - were taken to TTSH, while two each were conveyed to Raffles and KK Women's and Children Hospitals.

It is understood that more 20 passengers were on the bus when the accident occurred. Thirteen were unhurt and taken to Mount Alvernia for check-ups at its walk-in clinic, according to a hospital spokesman.

"Our priority and primary concern now is to provide the best care to the 13 passengers who are currently with us at our 24-hour walk-in clinic," she added.


When ST arrived at the scene at around 1.30pm, the bus stop was cordoned off. The badly damaged bus was facing the opposite direction to traffic and debris - including the driver's door - was strewn all over the pavement.

How come did not go to MAH instead of TTSH.

Drivers original idea of generating business for the hospital fails.

New super-safe bus stop design?

Bus-stop

According to @BoutiQueenSg, that's at Newton and has been "like that since forever".

I reckon you either learn Parkour to get to your bus or you miss many buses there all the time.

I am told that the bus actually stops near Esso petrol kiosk and since there is no space there, the shelter is at its current location. I suppose you wait there only if it rains.

How cum no mention of driver's nationality?

In some countries where Sinkapore has lots if from, an officially awarded driving license can be gotten by just drive few hundred metres of straight road at slow pace. Maybe with an angpow at end of drive?

Who want ride in vehicles driven by these drivers?
