A 46-year-old male cyclist died after an accident with a private bus in Tuas on Friday (Jan 30) morning.

The accident happened at about 7.55am at the junction of Tuas South Avenue 4 and Tech Park Crescent. 

Dashcam footage of the incident, which appears to be from the private bus, was posted by SG Road Vigilante on its Facebook page. In the footage, the bus did not exceed its speed limit of 60kmh. 

The cyclist was seen crossing ahead of a trailer, with the front wheel of his bicycle briefly seen before he came into full view of the oncoming bus which was travelling at about 55kmh.

Chinese-language daily Shin Min Daily News reported that the cyclist is believed to be a Bangladeshi worker.

A 68-year-old male bus driver is assisting with investigations, the police added.

Police investigations are ongoing.
