Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

 

Chain collisions with large number of vehicles uncommon

According to The Straits Times (ST), accidents involving such a large number of vehicles are uncommon.

In October, a nine-vehicle chain collision took place along Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) towards Tampines Expressway.

The accident involved eight cars and a van. In that incident, a 14-year-old girl and a 40-year-old woman were conveyed to the hospital.

Back in June, seven vehicles were also involved in an accident along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) towards Changi.

Six cars and a taxi were affected and two people were sent to the hospital.
