Fatal accidents are tragic, especially so when they occur on Singapore soil.
A motorcyclist passed away last week in an accident at Tuas and today, yet another accident claimed one life — this time in Seletar.
On 11 Aug, images and videos of the car split in half made their rounds on social media.
The accident occurred on the CTE towards SLE, at a slip road into Seletar West Link.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) pronounced one person dead at the scene.
In response to MS News’ queries, the SCDF confirmed that the accident took place on 11 Aug at 12.10am, on the CTE towards SLE, at a slip road into Seletar West Link.
Shin Min Daily News reported that the car had lost control at high speeds and collided with two trees, causing the vehicle to split in half.

Based on videos online, it appears that the front half of the car is missing its roof and has its windshield and windows shattered.
The front seats are clearly visible, and one door hangs open.

Unfortunately, a paramedic pronounced one person dead at the scene.
They then conveyed two other individuals to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the crash had thrown a male passenger out of the car, while the driver and a female passenger remained within the front half of the car.
All three passengers were 26 years old.
