A bus crashed into a lamppost in front of the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) earlier this week, after the bus driver had a heart attack.
The accident caused lampshades and hanging flower pots on San Ma Lou to fall. Three passers-by were hit and injured by the debris, but none of passengers inside the vehicle were injured. The bus driver was sent to the hospital after the accident.
According to the bus company, Sociedade de Transportes Colectivos de Macau (TCM), the 63-year-old bus driver had started working in 2015 and had cleared all his physical examinations.
According to a review of the CCTV video, the driver lost control of the vehicle at an intersection shortly after the light turned green. He tried to steer the vehicle with only one hand but still hit the lamppost.
TCM stated that although the driver had failed to fully control the vehicle, he nevertheless tried to responsibly stop the vehicle. TCM is monitoring the situation regarding the injured passers-by and the bus driver.
