SINGAPORE: A large tree fell across Tiong Bahru Road on Friday (Mar 3) evening, snarling traffic and damaging a sheltered walkway.
A video taken by CNA reader Dorothea Wong showed a line of SBS Transit buses waiting behind the fallen tree. The 28-year-old said the incident happened at about 5.30pm.
"It was a super loud sound. I jumped and thought to myself it must have been a car crash. But when I stood to my feet and looked out of the window, I was stunned to see that a tree had fallen across the two-way street."
SBS Transit said in a tweet at about 6pm that eight of its bus services were being diverted from the area due to a fallen tree, with five bus stops skipped.
In response to CNA's queries, vice president of customer experience and communications at SBS Transit Grace Wu said: "Due to a fallen tree along Tiong Bahru Road, buses operating Services 5, 16, 33/33A, 63, 851, 122, 123/123M and 195/195A are being held up as the road is impassable. Prolonged delays are expected for these services."
Mrs Wu added that SBS Transit is working closely with the Traffic Police to help guide buses out of the area.
"We seek passengers' understanding and patience," she said.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told CNA that it had received a call for assistance at about 5.35pm on Friday. One person was taken to Singapore General Hospital.
