SINGAPORE – Two bus passengers were slightly injured in an accident involving their bus and two cars at the intersection of Nicoll Highway and Bras Basah Road on the afternoon of June 11.
A video of the aftermath posted on the Singapore Roads Accident.com Facebook page shows that the bus had mounted a kerb, its front extending into the rightmost lane of oncoming traffic on Nicoll Highway, near Suntec City. Debris from the crash is strewn on the road.
The video pans to the area behind the bus, showing that a collision had occurred between a black car and a white car. Both cars are visibly badly damaged.
The two female bus passengers, aged 30 and 35, had minor injuries but declined to be taken to hospital.
A spokeswoman for Go-Ahead Singapore said its bus service 518 had been involved in an accident with two private vehicles.
“All passengers on board were transferred to the next bus service,” she said.
She added that Go-Ahead Singapore was in touch with an injured passenger to render assistance, and urged others involved in the accident to call the company at 1800 812 6469.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force, which said it was alerted to the accident at 4.25pm, said its assistance was not required.
Police said investigations into the accident are ongoing.
At least three other incidents involving buses have been reported in June so far.
On June 6, four bus passengers, including a 93-year-old, and a pedestrian were taken to hospital after an accident involving a Tower Transit bus and a trailer truck
