The location appeared to be a bus interchange as there were other buses and an MRT station in the background.
A close-up of the buses showed that the bus in front sustained damage to its rear, with one of its lights seemingly dislodged.
As for the bus behind, its door panels appeared to be bent out of shape.

In response to queries from MS News, the SCDF said it was alerted to a road traffic accident at about 8.55pm on Saturday (8 June).
The location was 11A Sembawang Vista, the address of Sembawang Bus Interchange.
One person was conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, SCDF added.
Another individual suffered minor injuries and declined to be sent to hospital.
A Tower Transit spokesman told MS News that the two buses involved were operated by the company and not in service at the time.
The person sent to hospital was a bus captain, who had been injured in the collision.
Tower Transit also said safety is of the greatest concern to the company. Thus, it has issued an alert to its bus captains to “drive defensively and drive with care”, adding:
Our operations team is also walking the ground to take the safety reminder to each one of our bus captains.
Before the accident, one of the bus drivers had been attempting to parallel park, according to 8world News.
However, he ended up colliding with the other bus instead, 8world understands.
No passengers were on the buses during the accident.
This Sembawang accident was the fourth accident involving a public bus in four days.
