In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to a road traffic accident on Tuesday (21 May) at about 12.45pm.
The location of the crash was Changi Airport Terminal 3 Arrival Drive.
A total of 20 people were taken to three hospitals:
In a statement, Tower Transit told MS News that 22 people were injured — the bus driver and 21 passengers.
The bus operator’s Director of Communications and Customer Experience Glenn Lim said that the crash occurred at about 12.40pm and involved service 858.
As the bus was going through a security barrier that had been lifted, a road blocker was suddenly deployed, he added. This caused the bus to crash into it.
Tower Transit is in the process of contacting the injured passengers and their families to provide assistance.
Those involved may also contact the company directly at 1800 248 0950.
