Tragic pile-up at Yishun junction

The incident occurred at the junction of Yishun Avenue 2 and Yishun Avenue 3 at around 10.20pm.

Photos of the aftermath of the incident were shared on the Facebook page Professional PHV Drivers Singapore: Grab, Gojek, Tada n Ryde on the same day.

The post warned others to avoid the area due to the severity of the accident.

One image showed a red car wedged beneath the rear of a lorry, its front bumper completely crushed.

The lorry’s rear appeared to have smashed through the car’s windscreen, with the vehicle’s airbags visibly deployed.

Debris was strewn across the road, while what appeared to be another badly damaged vehicle was trapped beneath the red car.

Another photo showed a motorcycle mangled beyond recognition, lying on the road just behind the red car.

In a separate image, first responders in high-visibility vests were seen attending to a person lying motionless on the road, with a fallen motorcycle nearby.

A wider shot revealed the full scale of the crash, with multiple vehicles scattered across the junction as traffic ground to a halt while emergency services attended to the injured.
