The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the accident at about 3.05pm.
Three people were taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, while two others were assessed for minor injuries and declined to be taken to hospital, SCDF told CNA.
In an update at 4.55pm, Tower Transit said it was trying to contact the three people taken to hospital to offer care and support.
“We’re really sorry for the hurt and inconvenience this has caused them and other road users,” it said.
The operator added that it was working with the Traffic Police, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and SBS Transit to support investigations.
Tower Transit also asked anyone who was on any of the buses, or had a family member who was, to contact the operator at 1800 248 0950.
It also said in its post that the road remained passable to traffic.
