SINGAPORE — Four people were taken to hospital, including a driver who was arrested for allegedly drink-driving, after a crash on the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on Friday (Dec 11) night.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and the police were called at about 10.05pm on Friday after a crash on the PIE towards Tuas, before the exit to Adam Road.

One person was found trapped in the driver's seat of a car and hydraulic tools were used to rescue the person, said SCDF.

The police said three drivers, aged 29, 36 and 68, and a 40-year-old passenger were conscious when taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

The 29-year-old man was subsequently arrested for suspected drink-driving, police added.

A video circulating online of the aftermath of the crash shows a car on the central divider, with another vehicle overturned. The third car lay partially beneath the overturned car.

Police investigations are ongoing. CNA
