The police told MS News that the accident occurred at around 7.10am on 4 Nov.

A video from social media showed a TP officer on his motorcycle, travelling along the PIE towards Tuas, before the Eng Neo Avenue exit.

The 26-year-old TP outrider rode on the rightmost lane behind a silver car.

As he travelled alongside a black car, he turned his head to look at it.

Netizens suggested that he was checking if the driver was using a mobile phone while behind the wheel.

Unfortunately, he failed to notice that the silver car ahead had slowed down.

The TP officer tumbled off onto the expressway from the force of the impact.

A second motorcyclist behind him appeared to be heading straight for the fallen vehicle, but the camcar swerved away before the collision could be captured.

Additionally, a piece of debris was launched from the impact and flew into the camcar with a light thud.

The police told MS News that the accident involved two cars and two motorcycles, including the TP vehicle.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) stated to MS News that two of the injured were conveyed to National University Hospital, while the third went to Ng Teng Fong Hospital.

Police investigations are ongoing.
