Two injuries and a wrecked blue bus

Footage of the accident’s aftermath was posted on the Facebook page SG Road Vigilante – SGRV.

The video showed multiple motorcyclists huddled around two injured men, who can be seen lying on the ground. The two injured men were the two motorcyclists involved in the accident, aged 24 and 33.

Also shown in the footage was the extensive damage on the bus involved in the accident. The accident left the bus’ rear left severely damaged, with huge portions of the windows shattered. Additionally, one of its metal panels was missing.

The post on SG Road Vigilante – SGRV wrote that this was allegedly a Malaysian bus.

Netizens expressed their concerns about speeding vehicles in the comments, with one commenter saying that the BKE is prone to accidents from motorcyclists rushing to and from work.

Another commenter wrote that the blue buses can often be seen speeding in the morning at around 7am. The commenter claims that this might be due to the buses rushing to take more jobs and avoid traffic at customs.

Injured motorcyclists sent to hospital

Police also added that the two motorcyclists injured in the accident were conscious and transported to the hospital for treatment.

The case is still under investigation by the police.
