STOMPer Pranjal was shocked to hear a loud bang and two buses
colliding at Woodlands Interchange on Saturday (22 September) at
12:30pm.
He had been travelling on one of the buses earlier.
The 32-year-old business development executive told STOMP:
I was travelling on bus 900 earlier and had alighted. It is the
longer one in the photograph.
Just as it was going into the interchange, it was overtaken by the
short bus and they collided.
Both buses stopped and passengers from the shorter bus had to be
evacuated.
Fortunately, no one was injured but both the buses were banged up
pretty badly.
STOMP contacted SMRT and its spokesperson said:
On 22 September 2007 at 10.55am, Service 911, an intra town
service, was making a U-turn to pick up passengers from the
boarding bay when it collided into Service 900, which was parked at
the berth.
No passengers were on board Service 900 as they had all
alighted.
There were 15 passengers on board Service 911 at the time of the
accident, all of whom were not injured.
All passengers were transferred to another bus of the same
service.
Both buses that were involved in the accident were brought back to
the depot for checks and repairs.
