NUS & SBS Buses Crash Head-On Along Campus Route, 3 People Conveyed To Hospital

NUS & SBS Buses Crash Along University Campus Route On 28 Feb

Rainy conditions can make roads rather unsafe to navigate, which is why motorists have to manoeuvre their vehicles more carefully.

Even so, accidents can still happen, which was the case this afternoon (28 Feb) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) campus, when a school feeder bus and an SBS Transit bus collided head-on within the school premises.

The crash reportedly happened around noon, with the impact causing the windscreens on both buses to cave in.

Reports say that several passengers, most of whom were students, sustained injuries in the collision.
