28 sent to hospital after 3-bus crash in Changi Road

SINGAPORE - A total of 28 people were sent to Changi Hospital this morning (June 4) after a traffic accident involving three buses in Changi Road.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it sent one fire engine, three ambulances and three support vehicles to the site near Masjid Kassim, after the accident at about 9.30am.

The SCDF sent 28 people to Changi General Hospital.

Channel NewsAsia carried photos of the accident, submitted by a hotline caller, on its website. The pictures showed an SMRT bus with a cracked windscreen, the dented rear of an SBS double-decker bus, and what appears to be the front of an SBS double-decker bus pressing into the rear of an SMRT bus.

The photos also showed affected commuters sitting on the pavement next to the road.
