A 68-year-old woman died in Singapore after being hit by a road sign that was said to be dislodged by a runaway bus.
The police said they were informed about the accident at 9.56 am on Friday. The accident involved a private bus and a pedestrian at the junction of Bukit Panjang Ring Road and Bukit Panjang Road.
