A nine-year-old boy was knocked down by an SMRT bus at the junction of Woodlands Drive 63 and Woodlands Avenue this afternoon (9 April).
He was sent to hospital in a conscious state.
An SMRT spokesperson said the company has contacted the boy’s mother, and will be assisting the family in every way they can.
There were about 28 passengers on board the bus (service no: 912) when the accident happened.
No passenger was hurt.
The bus driver has been suspended from duty and police are investigating the incident.
This is the second bus accident in Singapore in less than a week.
On 3 April, a 66-year-old woman died after being run over by an SBS Transit bus, which was making a right turn at the junction of Sengkang East Way and Compassvale Road.
