Girl, 6, taken to hospital after SBS Transit bus and car collide in Tampines Central

She was taken conscious to KK Women's and Children's Hospital by the SCDF.

On September 16, a six-year-old girl sustained injuries when a bus collided with a car at the junction of Tampines Central 1 and Tampines Central 3 in Singapore. The incident occurred around 4:25 pm, with the police and SCDF promptly responding to the scene. The girl, who was conscious, was taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) by the SCDF.

SBS Transit's Grace Wu informed media that the Service 8 bus was proceeding straight through the junction when a vehicle on Tampines Central 1 failed to halt at the red light, leading to the collision. The bus operator assured that the girl's family is being supported, and the other passengers were transferred to another bus. The Traffic Police's recent report indicated a rise in road traffic accidents and casualties in the first half of 2026, with injuries also increasing compared to the previous year's half.
