Driver taken to hospital following accident in Geylang involving 5 cars, motorcycle
A section of Geylang East Central was closed as a result of the accident.
On August 14, a motorist was hospitalized after a six-vehicle accident occurred in Geylang. The incident involved five cars and a motorcycle, according to the police. Emergency services, including the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), responded to the accident scene at the junction of Geylang East Central and Geylang East Avenue 2, heading towards Sims Drive, around 5:55 pm.
A 67-year-old male car driver was taken to Changi General Hospital conscious and is currently assisting with the ongoing investigation. Photos shared on social media platforms depict the aftermath of the crash, with all three lanes of the road blocked. A motorcycle can be seen flipped onto its side on the right-most lane, while three cars with varying degrees of damage are visible across the remaining lanes.
Two of the cars, one on the extreme right lane and another on the extreme left, appear to be traveling in the wrong direction. The car on the extreme left lane seems particularly badly affected, with its rear right wheel completely destroyed and it having collided with a lamp post, knocking it over. Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced on social media platform X at approximately 6:30 pm on August 14 that an accident had taken place on Geylang East Central (towards Geylang East Avenue 2) following Paya Lebar Road, thereby necessitating the closure of a portion of Geylang East Central. Police investigations into the incident are still ongoing.
