Prime Mover Narrowly Avoids Collision With SBS Bus At Clementi After Swerving
On Sunday (10 Sep), a prime mover driver narrowly avoided a collision with an SBS bus at a Clementi traffic junction
The prime mover was unable to stop before the red light and made a right turn, nearly colliding with the bus.
If not for the bus jamming its brakes, we could have witnessed a terrible accident.

It almost collides with two other motorists — both of whom stop just in time.
Lifting up on one side entirely, the vehicle would have toppled over had it not been for the driver’s control.

One user pointed out that a severe accident could have occurred.
