A cyclist was killed early this morning at a junction in the Boon Lay Industrial Estate when a bus hit him.

This is the second such case of a person being fatally hit by a bus in 10 days, reported Lianhe Wanbao.

On April 23, the wife of National University of Singapore professor Mr Gong Jiangbin was killed at Clementi Avenue 3.

On May 3 at around 12.10am, tent construction worker Chen Gan Rong, 46, had been riding his bicycle from International Road towards Pioneer Road when he was hit by the SBS bus at the intersection with Jalan Boon Lay.

Mr Chen went flying and his body landed 20 metres away.

Wanbao reporters at the scene saw that the right side of the bus' front windshield had been smashed, and there were five scratches on the side of the bus, believed to have been caused by a car accident.

Strewn near Mr Chen's body was his mobile phone, slippers and bicycle chain.

The deceased's colleagues, boss and younger brother -- a total of 10 people, rushed to the scene.

Many police officers and SBS staff were at the scene to investigate.
