    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.

  • Eyewitness Needed – Motorcyclist Died In Early Morning Accident, Helmet With Camera Missing

    Eyewitness Needed – Motorcyclist Died In Early Morning Accident, Helmet With Camera Missing

    Hi, would like to plead for witnesses or with car cameras footage of a fatal accident involving my late friend’s, bike FBG9912Z along KJE (Towards BKE) before sungei tengah/brickland rd exit (Lamp post #272) on the 8th December 2016 in between 4.15am to 4.52am.

    fatal-accident-at-kje-2

    It was believed that Police received a call from member of public informing of the accident at 4.52am and upon police arrival, his body was found on the ground. His helmet was nowhere to be found and I suspected that someone might have removed the Caberg duke flip up helmet (black) since it’s attached with a camera to run away with the evidence as there are only minor scratches found on the face. Police are still investigating the case and so far it’s being classified as a self skidded which my friends and myself refused to accept as he is a very safe rider and always cautious when riding his bike. He was on the way home from work and just few turns away from his destination.

    He left behind a wife and a 7 month’s old son. I will be grateful if any eyewitness who may have pass by during that time to step out to assist with investigation.

    I’ve attached a picture and the cut off area is where the body is found.

    For the culprit who stole his helmet, do believe in karma and I hope you will be caught and justice be served!!!

    Thanks guys!

    Satu kemalangan yang berlaku di Pusat Pemeriksaan Tuas meragut satu nyawa dan mencederakan dua lagi orang pagi tadi (6 Dis), menurut Pasukan Pertahanan Awam Singapura (SCDF).

    SCDF menyatakan ia mengerahkan sebuah ambulans ke tempat kejadian setelah menerima panggilan meminta bantuan pada 5.09 pagi.

    Seorang lelaki berusia 50-an tahun disahkan mati di tempat kejadian oleh para paramedik. Seorang wanita dan lelaki, yang kedua-duanya berusia 30-an tahun, dikejarkan ke Hospital Ng Teng Fong dalam keadaan sedar, tambah SCDF.

    Penguasa Imigresen dan Pusat Pemeriksaan (ICA) pada 9.39 pagi menyatakan nahas itu melibatkan tiga penunggang motosikal Malaysia.

    ICA sebelum ini menyatakan oleh kerana nahas itu berlaku semasa waktu sibuk sebelah pagi, kesesakan semakin memanjang dan para pemandu dijangka mengalami kelengahan.

    Pada sekitar 7.25 pagi, ICA mengemas kini maklumat mengenai kemalangan itu dengan mendedahkan bahawa nahas tersebut menjejas lorong bas dan lori di jambatan yang menghala masuk ke Singapura. Siasatan sedang diteruskan.

    Rakaman kamera trafik pada pukul 7.10 pagi menunjukkan kesesakan lalu lintas yang panjang, dengan sekurang-kurangnya tiga kenderaan polis dan sebuah khemah polis berwarna biru dipasang di tempat kejadian.
