Traffic police rider rear-ends vehicle on PIE, three injured
A traffic police motorcyclist collided with a car on the PIE near Eng Neo Avenue, injuring himself, a motorcyclist and a driver, who were taken to hospitals.
A traffic police rider was among three people injured after his motorcycle struck a car on the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) at about 7:10 a.m. on Wednesday, near the Eng Neo Avenue exit in the Tuas direction. The incident involved two cars and two motorcycles, according to police statements.
Dashcam footage posted on social media shows a black Toyota in the second rightmost lane. A police rider approaches the car on the rightmost lane, raises one hand, and turns his head toward the vehicle. He fails to notice that the car ahead has stopped, resulting in a rear-end collision that throws the officer onto his bike. The motorcycle’s headlight housing and fairing were damaged.
Police confirmed that the 26-year-old officer, a 28-year-old female motorcyclist, and a 20-year-old car driver were taken conscious to National University Hospital and Ng Teng Fong Hospital. Investigations into the crash are ongoing.
