Three people were taken to the hospital after a seven-vehicle accident in Jurong East on Oct. 26.

It involved five cars, a bus, and a tipper truck, the police shared in response to Mothership's queries.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the accident at the junction of Jurong East Central and Boon Lay Way at about 10:30am that day.

SCDF conveyed a 78-year-old male car driver, a 36-year-old female car driver, and a 76-year-old female passenger conscious to the hospital.

Videos and photos of the aftermath show two of the cars very badly damaged.

The hood of a black car was broken up, and a white car in front of it had its rear, front, and side significantly crushed.

The bus involved was a Service 99 bus operated by SBS Transit.

SBS Transit spokesperson Grace Wu shared that the bus was stationary at a red traffic light at the junction of Boon Lay Way when a car collided into its right side.

No passengers on the bus nor the bus captain were sent to the hospital.

The passengers were transferred to another bus to continue their journeys.

The police said that a 29-year-old male car driver is assisting with investigations.

Police investigations are ongoing.
