The accident involved a Tower Transit service 853 bus and two SBS Transit buses on services 852 and 851. In a Facebook statement at 4.14pm, Tower Transit said the accident occurred at about 3.05pm at the bus stop near Block 790 Yishun Avenue 2. According to the operator, its service 853 bus rear-ended a service 852 bus, causing a chain collision with a service 851 bus. A video shared by Stomper Daniyal, who passed by the scene at about 3.34pm, showed an SBS Transit bus mounted on the kerb with extensive damage to its rear. Several windows appeared to have been shattered, with broken glass and debris strewn across the road. Another SBS Transit bus was seen nearby, while three ambulances were spotted at the scene. In response to a Stomp query, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the accident at about 3.05pm. SCDF conveyed three people to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. Another two people were assessed for minor injuries but declined to be taken to hospital. Tower Transit initially said six passengers had reported injuries. In an update at 4.55pm, the operator confirmed that three people had been taken to hospital and said it was trying to contact them to extend care and support. “We’re really sorry for the hurt and inconvenience this has caused them and other road users,” it said. Tower Transit added that it was working closely with the Traffic Police, Land Transport Authority and SBS Transit to support investigations. The operator said the road remained passable to traffic. Passengers who were on any of the affected buses, or their family members, can contact Tower Transit at 1800 248 0950 or feedback@towertransit.sg.
