5-car chain
collision on PIE causes congestion
SINGAPORE: Five cars were involved in a chain collision on the
Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) on Thursday (Jan 18) afternoon, causing
congestion for more than an hour.
Channel NewsAsia understands that there were no injuries.
The Land Traffic Authority (LTA) alerted drivers to the accident
slightly past 4pm. The authority also said there was congestion
until the Toa Payoh exit, and warned drivers to avoid the first
lane.
About 10 minutes later, the LTA sent out another tweet, saying that
the congestion had extended until the CTE (City) exit.
The congestion was cleared about one hour later, although there
heavy traffic remained after the Thomson Road exit, according to
another LTA tweet.
