A YouTube video of a 66-year-old woman who died after being hit by a bus and dragged under it for almost half a minute on Tuesday has been posted online. 

The fatal accident occurred as the woman was crossing the road at the junction of Sengkang East Way and Compassvale Road at about 11:20am on Tuesday.

As she reached the mid-point of the road, the unsuspecting woman was run over by SBS Transit Bus Service 159, which was making a right turn at the junction.
