Users in the Telegram chat group claimed that the taxi had hit the motorcycles, causing them to fall like dominoes.
In a post on X, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said at 12.02am on Thursday (5 March) that an accident had occurred along Yishun Avenue 1 in the direction of Seletar, after Yishun Avenue 8.
That portion of Yishun Avenue 1 that crosses the Lower Seletar Reservoir is known as Yishun Dam, and is a popular spot for motoring enthusiasts, with several vehicles seen along the road at night.
LTA advised motorists to avoid lane 3, i.e. the far-left lane.
