71-year-old bus driver helping with police probe after five-vehicle pile-up in Pasir Ris

A 55-year-old female car driver, a 33-year-old female bus driver and a 47-year-old male lorry driver were conscious when taken to hospital, the police said.

In dashcam footage posted on the SGRV Admin Facebook page, a double-decker SBS Transit bus, believed to be service 39, can be seen crashing into a road divider before hitting a red car on the other side of the road.

The red car, reeling from the impact, slams into an oncoming green bus. In another video, a black car and a lorry are also seen to have been damaged in the chain collision.

SBST, responding to queries, said it is in touch with the three people taken to hospital or their family members, and it has offered to help.

The public transport operator added that neither the SBST bus driver nor passengers were among the three.
