Two Hospitalised After Seven-Vehicle Collision on PIE
A seven-vehicle crash on the Pan-Island Expressway left two people in hospital while police and SCDF investigate the incident.
Police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force said they were alerted to a seven-vehicle collision on the Pan-Island Expressway shortly after 9:55 p.m. on Nov 5, near the Paya Lebar Road exit heading toward Changi. A 37-year-old driver and his 26-year-old passenger were taken to Changi General Hospital in conscious condition, while a third person with minor injuries declined hospital treatment.
Four drivers, aged between 43 and 59, are cooperating with investigators. A photo shared on the Singapura Channel Facebook page shows the first three lanes cordoned off, with metal debris scattered across the roadway. A white sedan with a severely damaged bonnet and shattered windscreen is stranded across the second and third lanes, and three additional cars line the first lane, with an ambulance and a firefighting truck on site.
The crash marks the third multi-vehicle accident on Singapore’s expressways within a week, following incidents on Nov 4 and another on the Ayer Rajah Expressway on Nov 5 that resulted in multiple hospitalisations. Traffic Police data released in August indicated that road traffic accidents and injuries have risen in the first half of 2026 compared with the same period in 2025.
