  I was doing some cleaning up at my work place when i came across some old newspapers when the pic on the front page caught my eye. It was an accident of an off duty DD bus crashing through the height barrier near the kallang police coast guard road. It happened some time back in 1993. Pics courtesy of some local chinese paper. The bus rego was SBS 6821J. Can't seem to paste the pics here though !

  Talk about accidents

  who here remember the Adam Road/Bukit Timah Intersection accident?

  Contractor for some reason decided the height limit is 4.0m instead of the regular 4.5m.

  Nearly sliced the top of the DD bus, who also drove into the height barrier even though it was stated clearly 4.0 was the limit.

  I would say its late 80s early 90s there.

  Was it during the demolition of the flyover?

  More like construction of the flyover.

  it's the Adam Road towards Farrer Road direction.

  I can remember this because the 4.0m limit was unique, and only few days later an accident happened.

  now that you mention demolition, i just realised there is no more flyover there. ahaha.

  Replaced by a new multi-tier interchange, flyover became tunnel, and another flyover was built.

  Wonder why the bus was driven by a Service 16 BC whom was not familiar with that route so he turned into Stadium Rd as he did normally & the whole roof sheered off from the bus...
