SINGAPORE – A
63-year-old man who is believed to have driven a red Honda
against traffic on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) on Monday
morning, has been arrested.
The police said on Tuesday they were still investigating the
eight-vehicle pile-up, which involved a motorcycle, lorry, two cars
and four taxis.
It occurred near the South Buona Vista exit at around 6am. The
accident was on the side of the expressway towards Changi.
Three people were sent while conscious, to the National
University Hospital, said the police. One of them was the
63-year-old man who was arrested in connection with the case. The
man, surnamed Leow, is believed to be on his way to his workplace
in Jurong when the accident happened.
Shin Min Daily News reported that three foreign workers also
suffered minor injuries. One of the workers told Shin Min that the
red Honda crashed into the taxi, spun on the road, and hit the
lorry they were on.
As the accident happened just before the morning peak hour, it
resulted in a traffic jam lasting more than two hours, reports
said.
Several video clips from in-car cameras have been posted online
showing a red Honda driving against traffic.
