SINGAPORE — A six-year-old boy who was trapped under an SMRT bus along Choa Chu Kang Avenue 5 on Thursday (May 24) morning has died, the police said.

Responding to media queries, the police said they were alerted to an accident involving a bus and a pedestrian along Choa Chu Kang Avenue 5, towards Choa Chu Kang Avenue 4, at 9.05am.

The boy, who was a pedestrian, sustained serious injuries and was taken unconscious to the National University Hospital (NUH), where he later succumbed to his injuries, said the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

The SCDF, which was notified about a road traffic accident at about 9.05am, had sent rescuers to the scene, who used lifting equipment to rescue the boy.

TODAY understands that he was trapped under the rear right wheel of the bus. Rescuers took 10 minutes to extract him from under the bus.

A 57-year-old bus driver is assisting police with investigations.

Mr Patrick Lee, who lives at Block 487A, near where the accident occurred, said that he was woken by a woman shouting and screaming. A neighbour told him later that the boy had been riding a scooter across the road when he was struck by the bus.

"It's very sad, I don't know what happened… the woman could have been the mother, or the maid, or a family member. The whole block could hear her shouts," he told TODAY.

Another witness, Mr Charlie Lim, 44, an immigration consultant, told TODAY that when he arrived at the scene around 9.25am, the injured boy was being extracted from below the bus and taken to the ambulance.

The boy's mother, whom he guessed is an expatriate Indian, was standing next to the bus in a state of shock, being comforted by the police and a group of people. Mr Lim, who lives nearby at Block 485B, told TODAY that when he passed by the scene of the accident a second time at 1pm, there were many police officers and some officers in yellow tops "catching" users of personal mobility devices.

SMRT's vice-president for corporate communications Margaret Teo said in a statement that the company's care team has reached out to the boy's family at NUH to provide support and assistance. The company is also assisting the police in investigations, and apologised to affected commuters.

"We are sorry and sad that the accident has happened," she added.

The police urged the public not to circulate images or videos of the boy at the scene out of respect for his family.

I don’t know if the bus driver is to be blamed , but ever since the personal mobility device Is allowed , there has been a steep rise in serious road accidents.
These PMD should never be allowed on the road .

I have seen a little girl on her PMD zooming across the Novena Goldhill pedestrian crossing when the green man is on. But because she was zooming so fast, a Mercedes driver who was turning left still knocked her down as he probably didn't expect any pedestrian would walk so fast after his first look for pedestrians while turning left.

I was in opposite direction, stopped my car, went down to direct traffic, while my ATB girlfriend went down to help the poor little girl who thankfully, wasn't hurt that badly as only the side mirror of the Mercedes hit her.

PMDs, whether manual or electric version is a dangerous cum suicidal device to buy for your young kids. If you want to buy, make sure you teach and supervise your young kids well.

Actually PMDs riders should get down and push it when using pedestrian crossing. But many did not do so thus increasing the risks of being knock down.

To avoid such recurring death, PMDs should be totally banned in Sinkieland.

 

[no_faith]

Where are the eyes of the mom?
On her kid or somewhere else?
A kid playing scooter along the road is very dangerous.
Even in public, there are moms whose eyes are not on her kids, allowing her kid run amok, self injure or knock into other civilians.
Why need to indicate Expatriate? What is the purpose?

 

[Valium]

Oh no, is the bus, drivers and passengers ok?

That should go for cyclists too
