A 66-year-old man was conveyed to hospital yesterday afternoon after a double-decker SBS bus collided into him near the junction of Belilios Road and Serangoon Road.
Photographer Choo Meng Foo had been shooting near Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple when he heard a bang and witnessed the aftermath of the collision, which involved the casualty's wife screaming and banging on the bus door. He recounted the incident in a Facebook post on his page.
According to witnesses at the scene, the man had backed up onto the road to take a photograph when he got hit by the bus. From the pictures that Choo took, the collision must have been pretty hard as the left portion of the bus' windscreen cracked significantly from the impact.
Choo also noted that the ambulance and police arrived a little late to the scene — unsurprising due to the heavy traffic in Little India. The conscious man was carted off in an ambulance to Tan Tock Seng hospital.
