According to the Instagram page @sgfollowsall, the incident occurred at a bus stop near the Oasis LRT station in Punggol.

An eyewitness alleged that SBS Transit Bus Service 50 was at the bus stop with a Toyota Alphard parked directly in front of it, obstructing its path.

As the bus attempted to exit the bay, it reportedly made a tight right turn.

In the process, part of the bus stop roof panel was struck and dislodged, puncturing a window near the rear of the bus.

“Not sure why the panel was loose and could move so easily,” the eyewitness said, adding that the accident was not the bus driver’s fault.

Curious onlookers gawked at the scene, while a man exited the now stationary bus.
