  "account": "On October 26, a collision involving seven vehicles occurred in Jurong East, sending three people to the hospital. The accident, which involved five cars, a bus, and a tipper truck, took place at the junction of Jurong East Central and Boon Lay Way around 10:30am. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived at the scene and transported a 78-year-old male car driver, a 36-year-old female car driver, and a 76-year-old female passenger to the hospital. Eyewitnesses captured the aftermath with videos and photos, showing two of the vehicles severely damaged. The hood of a black car was shattered, while a white car in front of it suffered significant damage to its front, rear, and sides. SBS Transit confirmed that the bus involved was a stationary Service 99 bus at a red traffic light when struck by a car on its right side. Fortunately, none of the passengers on the bus or the bus captain were injured and were transferred to another bus. The 29-year-old male driver assisting with investigations is providing valuable information to the ongoing police inquiries.",
