Four people taken to hospital, one unconscious, after accident on SLE
The incident occurred on the SLE towards the CTE, near the Woodlands Avenue 12 exit.
Four people were taken to hospital after a collision between a car and three motorcycles on the SLE in Singapore on August 4, with one of them unconscious, according to reports from the Straits Times. The incident occurred around 7.50am near the Woodlands Avenue 12 exit, with two male motorcyclists and a male pillion rider, aged between 24 and 31, taken to the hospital conscious, while a 58-year-old male motorcyclist was taken unconscious.
The accident comes amid growing concerns over road safety in Singapore, which has seen a 10-year high of 149 traffic fatalities in 2025, compared to 141 in 2016, and an increase in the number of injured people from 9,342 in 2024 to 9,955 in 2025. Despite motorcycles making up only about 15 per cent of Singapore’s total vehicle population, motorcyclists and pillion riders were involved in 54.8 per cent of all traffic accidents and accounted for 53 per cent of deaths.
