Prime Mover Swerves At Clementi Traffic Junction, Nearly Collides With SBS Bus

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.

Netizens aghast at video

The video has since gone viral, with many expressing their shock over the near-miss between the prime mover and the bus.

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

They added that the road was also notorious for heavy vehicles driving at high speeds.

Others said that the prime mover driver must have had a lot of skill to keep their vehicle steady despite tilting.

There were those who praised the bus driver as well for reacting quickly and stopping just in the nick of time.

Ultimately, most seemed to agree that it was a shockingly close shave for the motorists.

Hopefully, this incident will remind others to be more careful whilst navigating traffic, especially when heavy vehicles are nearby.
