The accident reportedly took place at the end of the highway.

According to the police, a total of 21 bus passengers – all men – were taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH), National University Hospital (NUH), and Singapore General Hospital (SGH).

Meanwhile, the driver of the car, a 42-year-old man, was sent to NUH.

All 22 victims of the crash were conscious when taken to the respective hospitals, said the police.
