Wrecked vehicles lined the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) on Monday (Dec 19) morning after an accident left one dead and three injured.
According to a Facebook post by road safety interest group Beh Chia Lor, a Mercedes had allegedly gone against traffic, causing the massive accident along AYE towards Tuas, before the Tuas West Road exit.
A video posted on the page captured the dramatic trail of destruction left by the accident, with a silver car sitting on the left-most lane, facing the wrong direction. The front of the car is crumpled, and the wall of the expressway is severely damaged.
Further down the road, the video captured a stationary black car on the right lane, with a fallen scooter lying against it and a conscious woman is lying on the road about 3m in front of the vehicles.
The left-most lane also has a car flipped on its side as well as another black car, with a smashed bonnet and rear backed against two holes in the expressway wall.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was alerted to the accident at about 8.05am. It dispatched a fire engine, a Red Rhino, two fire bikes, a support vehicle and four ambulances to the scene.
A Chinese male was found trapped in the driver’s seat of a car, and was extricated using hydraulic rescue tools. He was pronounced dead by paramedics.
Another two females and a male, all Chinese, were taken to National University Hospital (NUH), and the hospital was alerted to be on standby to receive them.
