GetGo car crashes into bus at Yishun junction

Dashcam footage posted on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page shows an SBS Transit double-decker bus travelling along Yishun Avenue 2.

As it approached the junction connecting Yishun Avenue 2 and Yishun Central, a black GetGo car rammed into the side of the bus.

Both vehicles recoiled from the impact of the collision — the bus jolted to a stop next to the traffic light.

The clip later showed that the traffic light along Yishun Avenue 2 was green, signalling the right of way for the bus.

This suggests that the GetGo car had run the red light as it was travelling along Yishun Central, which is perpendicular to Yishun Avenue 2.
