The eight students were on their way to the Madrasah
Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiah, which is along Braddell Road.
The next thing they knew, the white minibus had
collided into the railing by the side of Bedok Reservoir Road.
It hit a lamppost and then flipped over in front of
Block 715. The front of the van was wrecked, and the bumper fell
off due to the impact. Five sections of the railing were badly
dented.
Several passers-by heard the crash, which took place at
around 6.30am yesterday, and rushed to help.
An SCDF spokesman said all the children were conscious,
none of them were trapped, and there were no visible injuries.
The children were all sent to the KK Women's and
Children's Hospital. Seven of them have already been discharged.
Two of these children had lacerations on their faces and received
stitches, while the remaining pupil, a girl in Primary 3, suffered
fractures and was warded for observation.
