A man and a boy was taken to hospital after an SBS Transit bus crashed into a school bus in Bedok early yesterday morning.

In response to queries, the police said that they were alerted to the accident at the junction of Bedok Road and Bedok Place at 6.01am.

In a video posted on Facebook, the front of the SBS bus - Service 55 - is badly damaged, with the windscreen completely shattered. The left side of the bus is badly crushed.

The school bus is positioned perpendicular to the road and half of the vehicle is mounted on the kerb, with what appears to be a street sign bent, possibly from the impact of the accident.

The Straits Times understands that the school bus was stationary when the accident occurred.

The SBS bus was travelling on the road and could not stop in time, crashing into the school bus.

The 36-year-old school bus driver and the 10-year-old boy were conscious when taken to Changi General Hospital and KK Women's and Children's Hospital respectively, the police said.

ST understands that the two suffered minor injuries.

Police investigations are ongoing.
