The bus apparently had the right of way.
A six-year-old girl sustained injuries after a car and a bus collided in Tampines on September 16 around 4pm. According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident took place at the junction of Tampines Central 1 and Tampines Central 3. A local resident named Yu, aged 60, heard a loud bang and found a bus had struck a silver car on the left side.
Both vehicles came to a stop on the road. Police were on the scene. The Singapore Police Force and Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed they had been alerted to the incident around 4:25pm. SBS Transit informed that bus number 8, which was proceeding toward the junction, had a green light, but a vehicle on Tampines Central 1 did not halt at the red light, causing the crash.
A six-year-old female passenger on the bus was taken to the hospital, where she received outpatient treatment. SBS Transit has been in contact with the girl's family, providing support. The other passengers were transferred to another bus to continue their journey. Police are still investigating the incident.
