In response to queries from AsiaOne, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said it was alerted to the accident at about 6pm on 3 April.
It involved a tow truck that was believed to have self-skidded along the BKE towards the Woodlands slip road into Mandai Road.
SCDF, which was alerted at the same time, assessed two people for minor injuries. They declined to be sent to the hospital.
Police investigations are ongoing.
