SINGAPORE: One person was taken to hospital after an SBS bus mounted a road divider in Simei on Tuesday (Jul 9), causing two lanes to be closed to traffic.
In a dashcam video sent by a CNA reader, the bus can be seen atop the divider in the centre of the four-lane road.
“The whole front windshield is smashed,” said the reader.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it responded to an accident at the junction of Simei Road and Simei Street 4 at about 6.40pm.
One person was taken to Changi General Hospital.
A Simei resident who lives nearby said she was having dinner when the accident happened. It sounded like “the collapse of a building”, she said.
The resident, who wanted to be known only as Lyn, said members of the SCDF and the police arrived shortly after, with a tow truck arriving about 15 minutes later.

Two lanes, one on each side of the road where the bus mounted the divider, were closed, with police redirecting traffic.
