In response to TODAY’s queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it was alerted to the accident along the KPE towards the Tampines Expressway before the Buangkok Flyover at about 7.50am.

Of the 11 people taken to hospitals, 10 passengers — aged 22 to 42 — were from the lorry while a 23-year-old woman was a passenger in the car, the police told TODAY in response to queries.
