GetGo Carsharing vehicle Ssangyong Tivoli fail to conform to the red light signal and t-bone an SBS bus
6 injured 1 dead
According to the Police, at least 6 passengers were injured after the crash.
A 31-year-old man was driving the GetGo rental vehicle, he was conveyed to the hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
Here are what netizens think:
- There should be rules on the rental vehicles it seems like any tom dick or harry are driving this kind of vehicle and crashing it like bumper cars
- Very lucky it didn’t t-bone the camcar. At least the bus can absorb the impact better. It’s big, so it should be able to dissipate the energy better. Hope everyone is ok.
- I am surprised the double deck did not overturn despite the great impact . Pray that those on board the bus are ok .
- This looks like a crash test that supposed to be conducted in the laboratory for the car! I hope all affected have survived from such impact!
- I am starting to think it might be a brake failure. I really cant imagine any sane person would crash into a bus that is so visible like that. Or he was drunk/unconscious.
