A pedestrian reportedly died after an SBS Transit bus ran him over just outside Toa Payoh bus interchange on Thursday (July 7).
Stella, a contributor to citizen journalism website Stomp, saw the aftermath of the accident this morning.
In the photo she sent, police have set up a blue tent at the area.
57-year-old Lam Koon Heng, a commuter on board bus service number 238, told The Straits Times that at about 6.15am, the bus captain told them all to alight.
“We were told that the bus (service number 235) in front of us had knocked down a pedestrian,” said Mr Lam.
“The bus involved in the accident was blocking the interchange exit.”

Facebook user Dawn Chan said that traffic was heavy around the area due to the accident.
In response to media queries, SBS Transit’s senior vice-president for corporate communications Tammy Tan said the company was assisting police with their investigations.
“We are very saddened and sorry that this has happened. Our immediate priority is to get in touch with the family of the deceased and to render assistance,” she said.
