Accidents can happen in a split second in the middle of a busy expressway. In some cases, they may even lead to casualties that may have been avoidable.
Recently, footage emerged of a worker running across the PIE to where his colleagues were working on some road construction.
A vehicle then collided with him at full speed.
Footage of the incident was posted to SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) on Facebook, with the OP stating that it occurred on the PIE at around 11.29pm on 2 July.
The video starts by showing several workers operating on some construction in the centre of the expressway, which has five lanes.

While they have cordoned off the area with a line of cones, the situation still seems precarious, with numerous vehicles speeding past them.
A worker is also seen standing by the side of the rightmost lane, waiting for the coast to be clear.

His colleagues immediately rush to the scene while another worker calls for approaching motorists to slow down and stop, at which point the video ends.
