OMG!! 😱😱
Three individuals were hospitalized following a harrowing accident that unfolded on Bras Basah Road, involving a staggering 11 vehicles in a chain collision on June 5th. Eyewitnesses shared images capturing the aftermath of the incident, revealing the extent of the damage incurred by the vehicles involved. A black multi-purpose vehicle bore the brunt of the collision, with its bonnet severely crumpled and the front-right tire dislodged. In contrast, a silver hatchback it collided with appeared relatively unscathed. The chaos continued as a ComfortDelGro taxi displayed extensive damage to its left side, with dented doors and a shattered rear window, along with a missing tire hubcap.
The situation worsened as another vehicle showed signs of severe impact, with its front passenger door caved in. Not far off, a grey multi-purpose vehicle was captured mounting the kerb outside the Singapore Management University. The accident led to significant congestion in the area, with the Land Transport Authority issuing alerts and warnings to motorists. The route was heavily affected, causing a jam that extended up to Buyong Road near Orchard. Motorists were advised to steer clear of the right lane, especially in the vicinity of Prinsep Street, where the effects of the accident were felt.
Following queries made by MS News, it was disclosed that the accident involved six cars, three taxis, and two buses. The Singapore Police Force reported that the collision left a 44-year-old male car driver, his 49-year-old female passenger and a 58-year-old male taxi driver injured, all of whom were transported to different hospitals for treatment. The Singapore Civil Defence Force confirmed that two of the injured parties were taken to Raffles Hospital, while the third was conveyed to the Singapore General Hospital. Authorities revealed that investigations into the circumstances surrounding the accident are currently underway, aiming to uncover the root cause of the chain collision that led to the hospitalization of three individuals.
