  Ironic isn't it?

  Normally when they take picture of the bus involved in accidents, they would pixellate the rego....now they happily blew the rego out to the public.

  Anyway RIP for the rider. It wouldn't matter as much whose fault is it once an accident has occured and someone loses his/her life.

  5 vehicles involved in accident at Victoria Street

  SINGAPORE: An accident involving five vehicles took place at the junction of Victoria Street and Bras Basah Road on Sunday morning.

  The accident happened at about 7am, involving a Night Owl SBS Transit bus, a van, a car and two taxis.

  Police said four people were injured and sent to hospital.
  
  Witnesses said the bus had swerved at the traffic junction to avoid an oncoming Silvercab but still ended up colliding with the taxi.
  
  Witnesses said the taxi driver and his passengers were hurt and sent to hospital.
  
  The bus is then said to have clipped another three vehicles that were waiting at the junction, before it finally ploughed into a lamp post outside Carlton Hotel.

  at first, it was "bus swerved to avoid oncoming cab".
  
  then it was "witnesses said bus went on despite lights changed to red". hmmm....

  SBS Transit has virtualy admitted that the bus driver ran through red lights and caused the accident.
  
  From the report and photos it seems that the bus was travelling on Victoria Street in direction from Stamford Road towards Middle Road, whilst the SilverCab taxi was not from the opposite direction (implying Victoria St from direction of Middle Rd) but from the left of the bus (i.e. Bras Basah Road).
  
  The taxi driver probably accelerated his vehicle as soon as light turned green. He and his passengers could have been killed had the bus not swerved and hit it directly on the side.
  
  Probably the driver of blue taxi reacted fast & tried to moved his car forward quickly, but did not manage to get clear. If he did not move his taxi he might have been severely injured or killed from a direct side collision.

  Screen capture from http://www.tnp.sg/sites/default/file...c/p1-nov19.jpg

  THE double-decker bus had holes on its windscreen and two large web-like cracks creeping across the tempered glass.

  The glass panel of the front door lay in a heap of shards and fragments on the ground. Pieces of glass fragments littered the driver's console.

  The damage was caused by two men who attacked the bus and later the bus driver John Achin, after he honked at a lorry blocking a bus stop at Hougang Avenue 3.

  After their destruction, they forced their way through the smashed door into the bus and pummelled the driver as about 20 passengers cowered in fear and screamed in horror.

  More in The New Paper on Saturday (Nov 19).
