Teacher dies in traffic accident
Singapore American School veteran was half a year from retirement; bus driver arrested
By Amelia Tan
A TEACHER with the Singapore American School (SAS), who was just half a year from retirement, died in an accident along Woodlands Avenue 2 while on the way to work early yesterday.
The car driven by Mr Edd Brown, 65, hit the rear of a bus, which was understood to have been on the move.
He died at the scene from head and leg injuries.
A police spokesman confirmed that the police received a call at 6.30am about the crash.
The driver of the bus has been arrested and is assisting with police investigations.
Mr Brown, a father of two grown-up sons and already a grandfather, was an information technology (IT) teacher in the primary section of the SAS. He taught children in grades 1 and 2 and also kindergarten children, besides working with teachers on incorporating IT into their teaching.
One of the school's longest-serving teachers, he joined SAS in 1995. That was the year he and his wife Pat came here from Saudi Arabia, where they had been working.
