A Singaporean man in his 50s was killed after he was knocked down by a Sentosa shuttle bus on Wednesday.

The accident occurred at about 5pm at a roundabout in front of Imbiah Station, an express rail station which is a stop away from the Resorts World Singapore integrated resort.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived at the scene after receiving a call at 5.08pm.

There were no passengers on the bus, which had been dispatched to pick up passengers at Siloso Point.

The bus was driven by a man in his 30s who had started work in Sentosa three months ago, said a spokesman for the Sentosa Leisure Group, which operates the shuttle buses.

Eyewitnesses told The Straits Times that staff from the Sentosa Leisure Group helped perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the victim, who was believed to be alone, while waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, said a spokesman. He declined to provide information on the identity of the man. The bus driver is assisting the police with investigations.
