A 74-year-old bus driver is assisting with police investigations after an accident in Bedok on Jan 9.
The police told Stomp they were alerted to the accident along Bedok Reservoir Road towards Kaki Bukit at 12.15pm. The bus was believed to have skidded.
No injuries were reported.
Stomper Remy said he was returning to work after lunch when he witnessed the bus plough through the grass verge.
A video that he shared shows an SBS Transit bus mounting the pavement. The bus appears to have narrowly avoided hitting a lamppost and a tree.
An ambulance can be spotted at the scene.
Remy recounted: "I was amazed to see the entire bus go in straight. You can see the bus on the right side of the grass when you turn into the Masjid Alkaff Kampung Melayu mosque and go straight on the second traffic light."
Police investigations are ongoing.
