SINGAPORE – Two people were taken to hospital while conscious after a multi-vehicle traffic accident along the CTE on June 9.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the accident, which happened towards the SLE before the Chin Swee Road exit at about 9am.

The accident involved a car, truck, and lorry, said the police on the same day.

When The Straits Times arrived on the scene at about 10am, a damaged car was seen crashed behind a Sembcorp truck in the middle of the road. The front passenger door of the car was open, and both the front and rear bumpers appeared badly damaged.

A lorry, which appears to bear the livery of citrus juice brand Florida’s Natural, was also seen with its front bumper badly damaged.

Both lanes along that stretch of the expressway were cordoned off with traffic cones by the authorities on the scene, with cars having to use the chevron to bypass the diversion. Two ambulances were also seen.

A 41-year-old male car driver and a 36-year-old female car passenger were taken to Singapore General Hospital, said the police and SCDF.

SCDF said it assessed a third person for minor injuries, but the individual declined to be taken to the hospital. A male lorry driver, 26, is assisting with police investigations.
