SINGAPORE — Two traffic accidents involving double-decker buses occurred over the past week.
A video posted on Instagram account “sgfollowsall.backup” on Tuesday afternoon (16 April) showed what looks like a double-decker bus which had crashed into a tree, with its windscreen shattered.
A few Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers and SBS Transit staff were seen around the bus attending to the accident. Parts of the tree bark were dislodged and seen on the grass patch next to a footpath.
SCDF said it was alerted to a road traffic accident along Woodlands Avenue 2 on Tuesday at about 9.25am. One person was conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
