Woman's leg dripping with blood after SBS bus crashes into another along Keppel Rd

Stomper Lim alerted Stomp to an accident along Keppel Road before Kampong Bahru Road at around 11am today (Apr 18) involving two SBS buses, that left a woman with a bloodied leg.

Lim said he was a passenger on Bus 57 and the bus was travelling towards VivoCity when it collided into the rear of a double-decker bus.

Said the Stomper:

“The bus driver didn’t manage to stop in time and he hit the double-decker bus.

“The windscreen smashed and the broken glass cut the leg of a woman who was sitting at the front.

“A passenger gave her a tissue paper to press against the wound. Another passenger also called the police.”

“We immediately alighted the bus and went to a nearby bus stop.”

In the photos Lim contributed, an SBS Transit bus with licence plate number SBS8678T can be seen with a smashed windscreen and damaged front bumper.

Blood can also be seen on the bus deck.

A spokesperson from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Stomp:

“SCDF was alerted to the incident at about 12.20pm and dispatched two ambulances to scene.

"A total of four casualties were conveyed to Singapore General Hospital.”

A police spokesperson added that the casualties were aged between 25 and 63.
