Almost Accident

Witnessed an almost accident yesterday evening at the cross-junction in front of my house...

It all happened at a split second, so at that moment, it was not easy to say whose fault that was...but my gut feel was the car...

Together w a few pedestrians, there was this bicycle rider w a passenger, both young boys (I think most likely upper primary) were waiting for the green man to appear before crossing...n it happened when this big car was trying to make a right turn just when the green arrow was already flashing...

When the green man appeared, we made out way out...then we heard this loud bang, then in front of me was that bicycle ‘banging’ into the car’s side...then the 2 boys shouted some foul words...from that moment, all I saw was that the car was already beyond the 2nd white line, so in a way, it blocked the traffic from the other side as well as the pedestrians path...to me, it should be the fault of the driver...he must be trying to beat the lights but couldn’t, so he made an emergency brake n it resulted in the bicycle not able to stop or react n thus banged onto it...then as the car ‘parked’ there, all the pedestrians had some difficulty trying to cross the road n also the other vehicles at the alternate direction at the left most lane...when the bicycle crossed, both were still shouting words like, u think u own the road?! etc...

It was lucky that it was the bicycle that banged into car’s side n not the other way round...
