This bus was travelling along Eunos Link when it crashed into a bus stop, says a
STOMPer who was near the scene of the accident when it happened.
Two different STOMPers took these pictures showing how badly damaged the bus and the bus stop were after the accident.
Another accident between a car and a taxi also occurred at a T-junction nearby around the same time.
It is unclear if the two accidents were related or if anybody was injured.
The STOMPer says:
"A bus rammed into a bus stop at Eunos Link, damaging both the bus and bus stop.
"Another accident happened at the T-junction."
STOMPer
sky, who was passing by at the time, adds:
"There was accident at the cross junction between a taxi and a car.
"Later, I passed by this bus stop and saw this bus that hit the lamp post follow by the bus stop."
In an email to STOMP(April 17), a
SCDF spokesperson said:
"SCDF was alerted to an incident involving a bus which collided into a bus stop along Eunos link on 17 Apr 2010 at 1232 hrs.
"1 fire engine and 6 ambulances were deployed to the incident site.
"Upon arrival, SCDF rescuers and paramedics swiftly attended to 21 casualties at the site. No one was trapped.
"15 adults and 6 children were conveyed by SCDF to the Changi General Hospital and KK Children’s Hospital respectively for follow-up medical
attention.
"1 of the adult victims sustained head injury. The other victims suffered injuries such as cuts and bruises."
