Two taken to hospital after seven-vehicle crash on PIE

On November 5, a seven-vehicle crash occurred on the PIE expressway near Changi, Singapore, resulting in four car drivers seeking medical attention. The police were alerted to the accident in the direction of Changi around 9:55 pm that day. Among those taken to the hospital were a 37-year-old male driver and his 26-year-old passenger, both conscious upon arrival. The four drivers assisting with the investigation range in age from 43 to 59.

Photographs shared on the Singapura Channel Facebook page depict a chaotic scene, with the first three lanes of the four-lane road cordoned off, debris scattered across the roadway. A white sedan, severely damaged, straddles the second and third lanes, its driver's side window shattered and dangling from the door. Three additional cars line up along the first lane, an ambulance parked ahead, and a firefighting truck on-site.

This incident marks the third major multi-vehicle accident on Singapore's expressways within a week, following a Nov 4 collision that left three people hospitalized and a large-vehicle pile-up on the AYE on November 5 that resulted in 13 people being taken to the hospital. According to the Traffic Police's mid-year road traffic statistics released on August 28, both accidents and casualties on Singapore's roads have been on the rise.

Injuries increased from 4,894 in the first half of 2025 to 5,090 in the same period in 2026, following a rise from 3,748 in the same timeframe in 2025 to 3,869 in 2026.
