SINGAPORE \u2013 A woman died and a bus driver was arrested following an accident at the Queen Street Bus Terminal in Bugis on the evening of Oct 6.<\/p>\n
In a media reply, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and police said they were alerted to a road traffic accident at about 7pm.<\/p>\n
The woman, 30, was found trapped under a bus and was released using hydraulic rescue equipment.<\/p>\n
She was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic, while a 32-year-old bus driver was arrested for driving without due care and attention causing death, police added.<\/p>\n
Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
The bus terminal runs cross-border bus services to Malaysia, including SBS Transit Service 170, Causeway Link Service CW2, and the Singapore-Johore Express.<\/p>\n
SBS Transit said in a Facebook post at 9.19pm on Oct 6 that its Service 170 had stopped operating out of the terminal due to an accident. Instead, commuters boarding there were advised to use a temporary shelter near the junction of Arab Street and Queen Street.<\/p>\n
Those travelling to the terminal were told to alight at the bus stop in front of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes on Ophir Road.<\/p>\n
SBS Transit staff were on hand to help commuters, the transport operator added.<\/p>\n
When contacted, a company spokesman said on Oct 6 that the terminal was temporarily closed and later reopened at about 11.50pm the same night.<\/p>\n
Service 170 also resumed normal operations at around the same time.<\/p>\n
Images posted online show several SCDF and police vehicles and personnel at the scene.<\/p>\n
A firefighter can be seen kneeling on the floor in front of a bus and seemingly looking underneath the vehicle. Nearby, several people are seen holding up a translucent sheet near the front left wheel of the bus.<\/p>\n
In another picture, a blue tent can be seen\u00a0set up beside what appears to be a CW2 bus.<\/p>\n
ST has contacted Causeway Link for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
