SINGAPORE – A van flipped onto its side during an accident with a car on a slip road into the CTE on Oct 12, resulting in two people being taken to hospital. In response to queries, the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force said they were alerted at about 2pm that day to an accident involving a car and a van at Cairnhill Circle, in a slip road leading to the CTE towards the SLE.
A 53-year-old male van driver and a 51-year-old female car driver were taken conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The car driver is assisting with investigations, said the police.
Video footage of the aftermath sent to The Straits Times shows a grey van lying on its side. A door on the driver’s side opens, and a man is seen climbing out of the vehicle, with two people helping him get to the ground.
Police officers are seen trying to remove both vehicles from the entrance of CTE, on Oct 10. A black car is also seen in the video, partially off the road, with its driver-side door ajar.
The video also shows what appears to be a damaged lamp post and fallen plants. Debris is also strewn on the ground. In a post on social media platform X at 2.13pm on Oct 12, the Land Transport Authority said that the Cairnhill Circle entrance to the CTE was closed after the accident took place.
