    Appeal For Witness: Lorry Hit-And-Run, Biker Left With Spinal Fractures

    Hi all, my friend who’s riding a blue Honda CB400 motorbike had a serious accident with spinal fracture yesterday (13-9-2016) at 2.45pm with a hit-and-run lorry at AYE (Tuas)…

    Another lorry driver and the passenger came to the aid of my friend…

    I am appealing for witnesses or car DVR videos of the accident… I only managed to get this photo from a bike group…

    Please do share with me the accident videos if you have it…

    Thank you…

  • Taxi Driver Hit By Car Said He Couldn’t Have Avoided It

    Taxi Driver Hit By Car Said He Couldn’t Have Avoided It

    Taxi driver Jin Lian Cheng was driving on the fast lane of the AYE early yesterday morning when he had the shock of his life.

    He saw the bright lights of another car as it sped straight at him.

    He did not have any time to react and crashed into it.

    ”There was no way I could have avoided it,” Mr Jin, 54, told Lianhe Wanbao from his hospital bed.

    ”I don’t know why the red car suddenly came from the opposite direction.”

    The accident at about 6am  near the south Buona Vista exit of AYE going towards Changi Airport, caused an eight-vehicle pile-up involving a motorcycle, lorry, two cars and four taxis.

    There was a two-hour traffic jam afterwards.

    Mr Jin had just picked up his first passenger at 5.30am and was taking the AYE for his regular drop-off at the airport when the accident happened in light traffic.

    The cabby, his passenger, who is in his 30s, and the driver of the car, 63, were among the people taken to the National University Hospital (NUH) for treatment.

    Mr Jin said he turned around after the accident and saw that his passenger’s head was bleeding. The cabby narrowly missed being blinded in the left eye after shards of glass from the windscreen hit his face.

    He received eight stitches at the corner of his eye, from a cut 2cm away from his eyeball.

    He also tore his left knee ligament and got his right lung punctured.

    He is still undergoing scans for his lungs to further diagnose the problem.

    The driver of the red Honda Airwave was sent for surgery at the hospital after suffering undisclosed injuries. His family told Lianhe Wanbao that he should have been driving to Jurong to start work and they had no idea why he was driving against traffic.

  • Massive 8 Vehicle Pile-Up At AYE Caused By Vehicle Moving Against Traffic

    Massive 8 Vehicle Pile-Up At AYE Caused By Vehicle Moving Against Traffic

    A massive 8 vehicle pile up early this morning caused a massive jam from Buona Vista to Yuan Ching along the Ayer Rajah Expressway this morning. The cause – a driver of a red Honda vehicle had been driving against traffic flow on the first lane of the expressway before he collided head on with a blue Comfort Delgro taxi

    The impact of the crash left the front ends of the Honda and the taxi badly smashed, with the wheels of the taxi flung out by the impact. The rear end of the red Honda was also flattened from the impact with other vehicles, who could not veer in time to avoid the crash.

    In total, 4 taxis, 2 cars, 1 lorry and 1 motorcyclist were involved in the accident.

    Police confirmed that they received a call early this morning and dispatched emergency vehicles to assist. The 60 year-old Chinese man who drove the red Honda, along with 2 other casualties were conveyed conscious to the National University of Singapore Hospital.

    Family members of the red Honda driver were shocked when told of what caused the accident. According to family members, the 60 year-old driver had left his home in Jurong at about 8AM in the morning and did not seem out of sorts. They did not believe that he had driven against traffic along the AYE as expressway speeds are high and very dangerous.

    Police are investigating the case.
