2 taken to hospital after multi-vehicle accident along CTE
SINGAPORE - Two people were taken to hospital while conscious after a multi-vehicle traffic accident along the CTE on June 9 .
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the accident, which happened towards the SLE before the Chin Swee Road exit at about 9am .
The accident involved a car, a truck, and a lorry , said the police on the same day.
When The Straits Times arrived at the scene at about 10am , a damaged car was seen crashed behind a Sembcorp truck in the middle of the road.
The front passenger door of the car was open, and both the front and rear bumpers appeared badly damaged.
A lorry, which appears to bear the livery of orange juice brand Florida's Natural , was also seen with its front bumper badly damaged.
Both lanes along that stretch of the expressway had been cordoned off with traffic cones by authorities at the scene, with cars having to use the chevron to bypass the diversion.
Two ambulances were also at the scene.
A 41-year-old male car driver and a 36-year-old female car passenger were taken to the Singapore General Hospital , said the police and SCDF.
SCDF said it had assessed a third person for minor injuries, but they declined to be taken to the hospital.
A 26-year-old male lorry driver is assisting with ongoing police investigations.
