SG: Video of SMRT bus accident at Dairy Farm Road

A school bus carrying nine kindergarten students ploughed straight through a barrier and into two parked cars. The accident took place near Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School, along Upper Bukit Timah Road. The collision happened on Tuesday around noon time, and thankfully, no one was seriously hurt in the crash. School Principal, Mrs Helen Chua, said that the driver appeared to have lost control when leaving the kindergarten. The children and bus attendant suffer some nicks and bruises, but nothing major. Mrs Chua attributed the lack of injuries to the seat belts that everyone was wearing at the point of impact. The bus driver is in his late 40s with a clean driving record. Police investigations are ongoing.

A chain collision involving 3 cars took place last Sunday along the ECP. As a result of the crash, 4 men suffered minor injuries. Of the cars, a Honda Jazz and a BMW crashed into a road divider, and the 3rd car sustained lesser damages than the former two. The Police and the SCDF were deployed to the scene after receiving a call for help at 10:55pm. A 39-year old man who was trapped in his car was freed by the SCDF without the use of any tools. He suffered from head and neck injuries. The others sustained similar injuries too. All were sent to the Singapore General Hospital for treatment.

Liu Zhongwei, a 31-year old Logistics driver from China was charged yesterday after killing his girlfriend two weeks ago. Liu drove his car into his girlfriend standing in front of his car. The accident took place at a carpark in Jurong on the 14th earlier this month, and took the life of 32-year old Kindergarten Teacher Li Minna away. Liu, instead of providing assistance, fled the scene after the collision. The couple were classmates and neighbours from their hometown Changchun, China. They started dating when they met in Singapore a year ago. If found guilty, Liu may be sentenced to a jail term of up to five years, or fine, or both.
