A traffic accident took place yesterday along Sims Avenue, involving a bus and a van, resulting in passengers having to alight.
The accident also caused a traffic jam, and the passengers had to alight from several buses at the back that were stuck because of the accident in front.
According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), they said that one person was conveyed to Changi General Hospital following the accident.
A netizen on TikTok posted a video of the aftermath of the accident on 25 March, and he captioned the video (SIC): “Bus and van accident at Sims ave causes of Traffic jam about 2km”
In the video, it showed a bus that appeared to have crashed into the side of a black-coloured van in the middle of the road.
Both the bus and the van remained stationary in the middle of the road, as the other motorists nearby tried to manoeuvre their way around the wreckage.
Passengers from the other buses were also seen in the video alighting from the vehicles, with the buses “queuing” up at the back in a row due to the accident blocking off the whole road.
SBS Transit officers were also on site helping to guide the disembarked passengers down the street.
The netizen said that the accident between the bus and the van had allegedly caused a traffic jam that spanned about 2 km.
Another video was also shared, following up on the previous video, showing the passengers still alighting from the buses, with traffic coming to a halt.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed the accident and said that the accident happened on 25 March, and they received a call for help at about 5.15 pm in the afternoon about an accident that occurred along Sims Avenue, near Jalan Turi.
One person was sent to Changi General Hospital.
