The nearest pedestrian crossing was located about 300m away, but a woman decided not to use it to cross the three-lane Jalan Boon Lay - with fatal consequences.

An off-service double decker bus ploughed into one woman, 46, at around 6.30am on Nov 8 last year, killing her. The driver had failed to keep a proper lookout.

Deputy Public Prosecutor told the court that the woman was not jaywalking.

He also said there was no pedestrian crossing or overhead bridge within 50m of the scene.

He was driving the bus on the extreme left lane towards Boon Lay Way when it hit Ms Tan.

An ambulance rushed her to Hospital and she died of multiple injuries about two hours later.

The driver was driving the bus within the speed limit as he made his way from a depot in Jurong to Boon Lay bus interchange to begin his shift.

He had a clean driving record prior to the tragedy and had worked for more than 40 years.
