The 38-second clip posted on the 柔新关卡Both Checkpoint 分享站 Facebook group shows the aftermath of the collision on the right-most lane of the AYE heading towards the Central Expressway (CTE), just before the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) exit.

In the footage, a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officer is seen directing traffic away from the scene as emergency responders rush to assist the injured.

At least two Causeway Link buses — typically used to ferry passengers between Singapore and Johor Bahru — were seen involved in the pile-up.

As the camera pans forward, a lorry and a van appear to have collided head-on.

Nearby, several motorcycles lie strewn across the road, with riders crouched beside them as SCDF personnel provide aid.
