A photo sent in by a Shin Min reader showed a black car and a black Mercedes in lanes 2 and 3, respectively.
A yellow car, facing the opposite direction, appeared to have crashed into both of the other cars.
All three cars were damaged, with the yellow car sustaining a bent hood, shattered headlights, and a dislodged bumper.
The black car’s hood was also dented, and its bumper had fallen off.
The cars’ airbags were deployed, and debris littered the road.
Behind was a lorry which had been involved in a collision with the black car.
A witness, 45-year-old car dealership owner Zhang Yonghua (transliterated from Chinese), told the paper that the two black cars had stopped at the traffic light when the yellow car crashed into both of them from the opposite direction.
The driver of the yellow car was believed to have lost control of the vehicle, he said.
The impact caused the black car to move backwards and hit the lorry behind it.
A male driver suffered serious arm injuries and was sent to the hospital, he added.
Mr Zhang noted that the lorry involved was carrying migrant workers.
Rattled by the accident, they got off the vehicle and paced around the road.
Thankfully, none of them had suffered serious injuries.
In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said it was alerted to the accident at about 6.45pm on 16 Oct.
It involved three cars and a lorry.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), which was alerted at the same time, told MS News that the incident occurred at the junction of Yishun Avenue 2 and Yishun Avenue 1.
