Saw this accident near my office.
There were a RapidKL bus, a 4W car and motorcycle(s)
Someone died in the accident.
Life is SHORT!
Appreciate what you have and treasure the people around you...
At around 6.00 pm...the bus was towed away...

It's shown from the video that the driver was speeding and did not intend to stop when the light was turning to red, which was supported by the comment of one of the bus passengers. (From other sources, the bus driver might not be speeding but might be due to brake failure and it was coming down from a slope.)
The Hilux driver might be taken off a few seconds just about / after the light turned green -> How fast can a car that just takes off from a traffic light be?
Please take note that there was another yellow car, which looks like a MyVi besides the Hilux, took off slightly slower than the Hilux -> means the traffic light had already turned green.
No one knows exactly what had happened except for the drivers.
It does not really matter whose fault in causing this accident.
The accident had took away two precious lives.
RapidKL should be more careful in hiring a driver (I still think this is applicable. It's not all the drivers, who are driving recklessly. However, I had been using RapidKL since I was studying in MMU a few years back. Some of the drivers were really speeding while they were driving.) and as a driver of any public transports, please take care of the lives of your passengers and other road users.
There were many accident cases caused by reckless bus and lorry drivers, which caused not only their own lives but also others' lives.
Green - See left and right before Go
Yellow - Prepare to Stop and NOT press accelerator!
Red - STOP!
