Meanwhile, the bus’ front door was left open while several people — presumably passengers — gathered at the front of the vehicle.

The accident site occupied all three lanes, halting traffic along MacPherson Road towards Bendemeer.

The video then panned to the right, showing several buses that were unable to pull up to the bus stop.

A large number of passengers can be seen standing at the bus stop, with some waiting in the rain under their umbrellas.
