A secondary school student has his lucky stars to thank for escaping unscathed after he dashed across a road in Bukit Batok and into the path of an oncoming vehicle
Dashcam footage shows a service 176 bus operated by SMRT stopped at a bus stop.
As the dashcam vehicle passed alongside the bus, a boy suddenly dashed out from in front of the bus and into its path.
He did not appear to have checked for oncoming vehicles before crossing. Throughout the close encounter, the boy looked straight and kept running.
Thankfully for the boy, the dashcam vehicle was moving at a speed of less than 20kmh and was able to stop in time.
