Man Flung Out of Car near Khatib MRT

" A man was flung out of the passenger seat of a car after a high speed collision with a bus near Khatib MRT Station. The entire collision was captured on video via a camera in a car facing the junction at the time.

 

The man appeared conscious immediately after the incident and did not seem to have been wearing a seat belt.

 

STOMPer Rachel, who found the video on YouTube, commented:

 

"This bus crashed into a car in front of Khatib MRT." "

 

That driver never wear seat belts in a Chevrolet Spark, anyway, not sure if the Spark was speeding across the junction *maybe blind if he didn't see that bus coming towards him .

I believe those with night-blindeness really can not see (ever met one who confessed to be unable to see)

At the end of the video, I think there is someone behind the car seat. The driver and bus driver were trying to force open the door. Hope it is not a kid.

It appears that the car driver failed to give way to the bus which has the right of way.

The driver jump across the seat to assess the passenger's condition? Could have open his door and go the other way.

 

I wonder what he was trying to do towards the end of the vid. He was like trying to pull something out.

[Good-Carbuyer]

A possibility of faulty seat belt catch.

I beleive it was reckless car driver

What the .....

 

Only SMRT bus captain come out and help, the rest all sit inside car and bus and see, onlookers also bo chap and cross the traffic light. Haiz.. [:(]

The car driver like cmi.. machiam wanna turn into the camera car's lane.

[Nullifi3d]

Looks more like an accident involving a motorcyclist rather than a car. Hope he gets well.

You are right - they use compressed air with an air compressor - so there's always the sound of air being released. Google it. Otherwise the driver will have to have a 1 ton foot

Some will never wear seat belts. Even their children don't buckle up but allowed to stand up in the car cabin or front passenger seats.

Go look it up. Chevrolet Spark 1.0M.

 

Driver completely misjudged the bus approach.

 

Expect the driver to receive love letters from SMRT and TP soon.

 

last time got one car also fail to wait for green arrow tocome out. she turn right. then came a motor which had right of the way. motor guy died. the girl nothing happen. this time round, mini car is not so lucky to meet a bike! here comes mighty sbs bus!!!!!!! self pawn!!!!!

[So_nice]

wow. just hope nobody seriously injured.

 

is it a p-plate?

Paiseh, paiseh. It was the passenger instead. But the Spark driver seems to be the reason of this accident.

[Evillusion]

defensive driving 101....always prepare to stop at a junction.......slow down when approaching 1.

the car totally miss-judged the bus speed n the passenger suffers. but was the bus speeding...you be the judge!

[Holdenutessv]

i think their breaks is different from normal car brakes? when you break you hear "Pisssssss"? well bus's does.. and bus break can't fit on cars

 

It's a Scania L113CRL(ELBO) from SMRT. It's most likely to be equipped with drum Air brakes. "When the brake pedal is pushed, routing the air under pressure (approx 100-125psi) to the brake chamber, causing the brake to reduce wheel rotation speed". Therefore you can hear the psssh when the driver releases the brake because the air pressure in the braking system is being released.

really must wear seat belts..always see kids w/o seatbelts on....craziest i ever seen was, ah pek feeding the child who was standing at the back seat at pie exiting bukit batok....

 

for cross junction turning right, it is always better to be safe then try to hiong your way....there are always green arrows....

 

Hope the guy wasn't too seriously injured.

[Rncw]

i hope this one driver less on the road...looking at the video, total disregards for oncoming bus...

 

but then the bus could have slow down when approaching traffic junction....i think amber light so they chiong?
