On the afternoon of March 19, an elderly pedestrian was taken to the hospital following an accident involving a public bus in Punggol. The incident occurred around 4 PM at the junction of Sumang Walk and Sumang Link.

Authorities confirmed that the pedestrian, an 82-year-old man, was transported to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for medical treatment.

A person wearing a motorcycle helmet is kneeling on the ground, while another, dressed in a red-and-yellow uniformed top, is crouching nearby. Two umbrellas are being used to provide shelter for the injured man.

The company has also stated that it is trying to contact the pedestrian’s family to offer support and assistance. A spokesperson for Go-Ahead Singapore has urged the family members to reach out to them.

The exact details of how the accident occurred remain unclear, and authorities are working to determine the cause. Pedestrian safety and road awareness have been ongoing concerns, especially in areas with high foot traffic.

As investigations continue, road users are reminded to stay vigilant at busy intersections, and public transport operators are expected to review safety protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future.
