  "account": "SINGAPORE – Two individuals were hospitalized following a vehicular accident in Cairnhill Circle on October 12. The incident, which involved a van and a car, resulted in the van flipping onto its side. Both the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force were promptly alerted to the incident around 2pm. Upon arrival, they found a 53-year-old male van driver and a 51-year-old female car driver at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, both conscious and receiving treatment. The police confirmed that the female driver is currently assisting with the ongoing investigation. Visual evidence provided by videos and photos to The Straits Times depicts the aftermath of the collision, showing a dark-colored van lying on its side, with one of its doors partially open. A black car is also present in the footage, partially off the road, with its driver's side door ajar. Additionally, a damaged lamp post and fallen plants can be seen scattered across the ground near the accident site. The Land Transport Authority announced on social media platform X at 2.13pm that the Cairnhill Circle entrance to the CTE was closed due to the accident.",
