Private ambulance staff come to aid

After the crash, some medical staff from a private ambulance came to the aid of the injured.

One of them, who declined to be named, told Shin Min that he and his colleagues were off work when they came across the crash scene.

They stopped to render aid and saw a distressing sight — one of the motorcyclists was lying face-down on the road with blood gushing out from his head.

From his understanding, that motorcyclist had collided with the motorcycle in front of him and was thrown off his bike, landing on the road.

Regretfully, the medical staff noted that the man had no pulse and had stopped breathing.

 

SLE closed after accident

The accident caused the SLE to be shut down for at least two hours.

A tweet from the Land Transport Authority (LTA) at 5.41pm warned motorists that the SLE would be closed after the BKE exit.

The resulting jam stretched all the way to the Woodlands Avene 2 exit, the LTA later said.

A subsequent video taken by a motorist at 7pm showed that the SLE was still blocked, and all vehicles were diverted to the southbound BKE.
