We pray that the hit & run victim may rest in peace. He was hit and run over by the lorry & subsequently run over by the private bus. Heartfelt Condolences to the victim's family.

I commend the suspect for turning himself in.. I can only sympathize with him for having to work such long hours to earn a living.. But a crime is still a crime..

Frfrr

[@Pressplay_Media_EU]

YES.. but an accident is still an accident..

[@ABC-ed8cg]

Where else can he run to since he’s a wanted man? And sg is a small country. He can’t run out of singapore either since the custom officers will bar him from leaving too. He may think that turning himself in could reduce his sentence. He obviously is a selfish bastard for hitting someone and not helping. He knows what he has done. So no commending needed.

[@JerryGoGetTheRoyalNavy]

Exactly bro he took responsibility for what he fucked up

[@user-is6cy8ug8d]

Yes. Somebody I know I also died after being hit by a bus driver. The latter was tired after long hours of driving.

[@jiaweichew3370]

Ouch, but this case should have been targeted at the actual company for making the driver drive for over 20 hours, what kind of idiot made that decision? In fact, this incident is one that should and could have been easily prevent by having rotationally shifts.

[@torrhthc4103]

Yes but there should be protocols. For example, Maximum 12 hours of driving / day with breaks every 2 hours.

[@jiaweichew3370]

@@samlee5075 I think cap at 10 hours max and the driver is required to have at least 4 hours to rest before doing another 10 hour shift, no OT allowed even if the thing being delivered is important.

I think police has more important cases to deal with than to spend weeks finding thousands of each such cases like your's that happens so often.. Finding a hit and run that took a life takes priority over your few hundred dollars hit and run.

Cannot make drivers work so many hours with no sleep. Danger to themselves and others, also danger to your company vehicle and reputation.

[@ABC-ed8cg]

Motorcycles are unsafe mode of transport. That’s the root of the problem. Wrong place at the wrong time. Of course the truck driver is in the wrong but if we solve the inherent problem, such tragedies can be avoided. Eg, cos he’s flung on the road, the bus driver thought he’s a garbage bag or just clothes lying on the road..

I feel the bus drivers was did dirty cause If the van never hit the motorcycles nothing would have happen plus its not his fault that the road is dark for him to see

Precisely. I pity the bus driver too. He’s implicated in this mess cos of the selfish truck driver.. In the dark, with all the shadows and trees, one would think something lying on the road is garbage bag or just rags.

The bus never on headlight? Cannot see the big motorbike on the road? And the body? How?

[@ABC-ed8cg]

The body could be by the roadside. In the darkness & shadow, even with headlights on, one would think things lying on the road are rags or garbage bags. Wait until you experience it yourself then you’ll understand.

[@ABC-ed8cg]

How did they film 15:12? Did they use a dummy? The filming is so realistic. I pity the bus driver who got caught in this mess because of the truck driver’s selfishness. In the dark, with trees and all the shadows, one would assume things lying on the floor could be garbage bags or clothes. Word of advice: it’s risky to ride in motorcycles. One is basically unprotected.

Next time hit and run must pick up your broken scrap before you run.

[@tiny_fern]

he was actually driving under the influence of alcohol in the real story hais

[@sihanchen7552]

The driver is just an easy scapegoat to be blamed for this accident. The crux of this issue here is NOT the actual hit and run accident, but the fact that the lorry driver actually had to work 22 hours straight !! Why is this even allowed? Does his company have no responsibility to bear in this case at all ? Recently there was also an incident involving a SBS driver who was jailed because he fell asleep at the wheel. This was because he had inadequate rest time because he had only 9 hours in between 2 shifts he had to work, and he only managed to get 4 hours to sleep before he had to wake up to go for his next shift. Though he brought this up in court, SBS pushed all of the blame to the fella and the biased court decided to side with SBS and handed down a 12 weeks jail sentence to this poor guy. I hope these incidents create awareness that bus or lorry drivers are human beings, they require proper and adequate rest. Bus or logistic companies have the ultimate responsibility to bear for such accidents occurring and should not just push the sole blame on the drivers. These accidents will only keep happening if the public chooses to overlook such issues.
