Motorcyclist sent to hospital conscious after PIE accident involving 6 vehicles

A 60-year-old motorcyclist was sent to the hospital last Saturday (19 Sept) morning after being involved in a six-vehicle accident along the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE).

Images of the aftermath posted by Singapura Channel on Facebook showed the motorcycle lying underneath the back of a lorry in lane 2.

Items scattered on the PIE amid bloodstains

In other screenshots, a few items, including a plastic bag, were seen scattered on the road next to the lorry, between lanes 2 and 3.

What appeared to be bloodstains were also smeared on the asphalt.

A Traffic Police officer and his motorcycle were at the scene.

Several damaged cars stopped along the PIE

A few metres ahead of the lorry were two cars that looked to be damaged, especially the silver car on the right that had a dented rear.

Just in front of the silver car were three vehicles that had stopped in lane 2, one after another.

The white car at the end had a large dent on its rear bumper.
