A 33-year-old bus driver and five bus passengers were taken to the hospital after a head-on collision involving an SBS Transit bus and truck at the intersection of Chai Chee Road and Chai Chee Street on Monday (October 26) .

A Stomper found a photo of the accident that circulated and shared it with Stomp.

The aftermath of the accident was also videotaped and posted on the Facebook page of the Singapore bus drivers community.

In the video, both vehicles appear to have been going in opposite directions before colliding with each other.

The bus appears to be going straight while the truck appears to have wanted to turn right.

A man can also be seen standing next to the bus directing traffic as two white cars drive through the scene of the accident.

In response to an inquiry from Stomp, police said they were alerted to the accident at 7.33 a.m.

“The 33-year-old bus driver and the five bus passengers, aged between 43 and 65, were conscious when they were transferred to Changi General Hospital,” the police spokesman added.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Stomp has contacted SBS Transit for more information.
