A GROUP of foreign workers riding on the back of a lorry were injured yesterday morning after it collided with a bus, in yet another of such accidents.

An accident in May killed four workers perched in the back of their lorry after it crashed into a trailer in Tuas. Last year, 210 workers riding in the back of lorries were injured and two died in road accidents.

Yesterday's crash was also in Tuas and 16 workers from Bangladesh and Thailand were hurt, one of them seriously, with fractures to his legs. A passenger from the private bus was also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
