Wrecked vehicles lined the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) on Monday (19th December) 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.
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 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 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, and the hospital was alerted to be on standby to receive them. A 53-year-old male car driver was arrested for causing death by rash act. Police investigations are ongoing.
