Authorities appeared to have cordoned off one lane, which was occupied by a recovery truck and police vehicles.

The video also showed two white cars, a sedan, and a sports utility vehicle (SUV), along with police officers and an ambulance in said lane.

Additionally, the SUV’s bonnet seemed to have a dent in it.

This possibly marks where the collision took place.

The driver of the car is currently assisting with police investigations, which are now ongoing.

Unclear how pedestrian winded up in CTE tunnel

The incident has raised questions regarding how the victim ended up in the expressway tunnel, due to the fact that such areas are off-limits to pedestrians.

It is worth noting that pedestrians are not allowed on all expressways and in tunnels, as stated on the Land Transport Authority (LTA)’s OneMotoring website.

At the moment, it remains unclear how the pedestrian wound up in the CTE tunnel.

In any case, we would like to remind everyone to remain attentive on the road and adhere to traffic regulations at all times.

MS News extends our condolences to the deceased’s loved ones. May he rest in peace.
