  • Traffic Comes To A Standstill At Punggol After Accident On TPE

    Traffic Comes To A Standstill At Punggol After Accident On TPE

    Morning rush hour traffic in many parts of Punggol slowed to a crawl on Tuesday morning (March 7), following an accident on the Tampines Expressway (TPE) before the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) exit near Lorong Halus.

    The accident caused a congestion up to the Sengkang exit, with motorists around Punggol Central complaining of traffic coming to a standstill. Pictures posted on Facebook showed heavy traffic around the area.

     

    According to the Land Transport Authority’s One Motoring website, the accident occurred around 6.39am. A spokesman from the Singapore Civil Defence Force said: “One ambulance was dispatched. Two persons were conveyed to Changi general hospital.”

     

    “It has been a long time since I took the TPE at peak hour, and I just experienced the worst traffic jam in my life. 1 hour from Yishun and I am still at Punggol, when I am supposed to be at Tampines 20 mins ago,” Facebook user Justin Ryuji Peng wrote.

    Another commuter, Mr Reuben Chin, wrote on Facebook that his commute from Fernvale to Punggol took him 40mins.

    TODAY understands that four vehicles – two cars and two motorcycles – were involved in the accident.

    Father Of 2 Killed After Getting Knocked Down By Motorcyclist While Trying To Cross TPE

    A man, suspected to be taking a shortcut, was crossing the expressway when he was knocked down by a motorcyclist.

    According to Lianhe Wanbao, the man died on scene. The motorcyclist suffered head injuries, and was sent unconscious to the hospital.

    This incident happened on Sep 27 at about 10.50pm along the Tampines Expressway (TPE).

    The deceased is a 39-year-old Malay cleaner named Ismail.

    He leaves behind a 41-year-old wife, a daughter and a son, aged 14 and 8 respectively. They live in Sengkang.

    The motorcyclist is a 23-year-old Indian man named Prakash. He suffered severe head injuries and is still currently unconscious.

    However, his condition is stable and is recuperating in a hospital. He also has some bruises and abrasions all over his body and face.

    Ismail’s wife shared in sorrow that her husband was a good father that took care of the family. She thinks that he might have been taking a shortcut by crossing the highway.

    He was returning home when the accident happened. She only knew about her husband’s accident after receiving a call from the police.

    His son shared that their house was near the expressway, but there was an overhead bridge.

    Ismail was the sole breadwinner of the family, working as a cleaner in Pasir Ris.

    His wife cried that she did not know what to do now that he’s gone, for he had all along provided for the whole family.

    Police have confirmed the accident, and are still conducting investigations.
