Two people were injured in an accident involving at least three vehicles along the Seletar Expressway (SLE) early on Saturday (Aug 12) morning. It occurred along the SLE towards Bukit Timah Expressway, at the slip road near the Woodlands exit.

In a video posted online, a car was seen on fire, while a white van was lying on its side, with another car behind the van having suffered front damage. A 51-year-old man, the driver of the van, was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. A 28-year-old woman who was the passenger in one of the cars was taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH). The SCDF said the two casualties had lacerations on their limbs.

The SCDF said that it received a call for help at about 5.51 am on Saturday. SCDF put out the fire on the vehicle, which involved the engine compartment, using a hose reel jet. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
