  A COLLISION between two public buses yesterday morning left one of the drivers pinned in his seat for more than an hour.

  .

  The SBS Transit driver suffered a broken leg and cuts after ramming into the rear of an SMRT bus along Yio Chu Kang Road. The Singapore Civil Defence Force spent over an hour cutting the side of the bus with a power saw to free the man.

  .

  The other driver complained of back and neck pain. Both were sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

  .

  There were no passengers on board when the accident occurred at about 9.45am. Today understands the off-service buses were heading to the depot.

  .

  Said Ms Tammy Tan, SBS Transit’s vice-president of corporate communications: “We have contacted our Bus Captain’s family in Johor Bahru and are helping them make arrangements to get to the hospital quickly. We will also be assisting them as best as we can.”

  .

  Police are investigating.
