While traffic on our roads is relatively clear on most Saturday mornings, that wasn’t the case along CTE on 11 Jun.
In the early hours of 11 Jun, an accident along CTE caused a lorry to flip sideways — three individuals were conveyed to the hospital as a result.

Besides LTA personnel, police and EMAS Recovery officers were also seen at the scene.
In response to MS News queries, SCDF confirmed that the accident happened along northbound CTE after the Braddell Road exit.
Two passengers were reportedly trapped in a car and had to be freed using hydraulic rescue equipment.
According to The Straits Times (ST), three individuals, comprising the two passengers and a lorry driver, were conveyed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Separately, a 27-year-old man has been arrested for two suspected charges:
Investigations are currently ongoing.
Though the police are still looking into the accident, it’s indeed troubling if the driver’s alleged offences are true.
We hope those conveyed to the hospital will make a speedy and smooth recovery from their injuries.
If you know anyone who was caught in the unusual CTE jam this morning, tag them in the comments so they know why.
