A red Honda mowed through the road divider on Eunos Link on Friday (Sept 23) morning, cutting through four lanes to crash into a bus full of commuters.
No one was injured, but the car’s driver, a man in a white T-shirt and bermudas, was seen shouting and pushing officers who rushed to the scene around 7.30am.
He had to be restrained by three Singapore Civil Defence Force personnel and lay on the ground for around half an hour as they spoke to him.
On-lookers told The Straits Times that the bus’ passengers alighted and took the next service. The SBS Transit driver declined comment.
Mr Chung Sew Meng, 42, was driving to work in Kaki Bukit when he spotted the red car, moving very quickly from the opposite direction, crash through the road divider behind him.
“He was driving very fast. It happened within seconds… I then saw his car ram over to (one) side of the road. I was just beside the car,” said the furnishing company director. “It was quite shocking.”
“Luckily, there were no (other) motorists, no motorcycles,” he added. “(The driver) might have been panicked and stressed. He came out and shouted.”
The crash roused residents of the housing estate nearby, attracting about 30 on-lookers who stopped to see what happened.
Among them was Mandez Siow, 16, a secondary school student who lives in Ubi Avenue 1. Hearing a bang from his room, he went out to see what happened and spotted the driver walking around.
Security officer Ahmad Juhari was on his way home from his night shift at work when he saw the accident scene from a nearby bus stop.
“The driver got violent,” said the 50-year-old. “The officers were trying to help him.”
