A double-decker bus mounted a kerb and dislodged a bollard while making a turn near Boon Lay Bus Interchange, uprooting and dragging the fixture along as it reversed.
According to a report by Lianhe Zaobao, the incident occurred at the junction of Jurong West Central 3 and Jurong West Street 64, at about 6.40pm on Aug 3.
When reporters arrived at the scene, the bus had stopped diagonally at a junction near the interchange, with several passengers still on board.
A video by the Chinese daily shows the bus’s left-side wheels mounting the kerb, with one of its left rear wheels wedged against a bollard.
