4 hospitalized on ECP following multi-vehicle accident

SINGAPORE – Four people were taken to Raffles Hospital following a multi-car accident on the East Coast Parkway (ECP) on October 3.

The Singapore Civil Defense Force said it was alerted to the accident, which occurred on the expressway towards Changi Airport after the Ford Road exit, at around 5.20pm.

The Land Transport Authority said in a post on X around 5:30 p.m. that the accident caused a traffic jam from the Tanjong Katong Road exit to the Fort Road exit.

The authority also advised drivers to avoid the first two lanes of the highway.

Several videos posted on social media about the aftermath of the accident show three taxis and five cars involved in the accident.

Two cars can be seen at the top of the pile of vehicles. Directly below them is a red taxi with a crushed front bumper and hood, its doors ripped open.

In the videos, a black car can be seen driving directly behind the red taxi with its hood dented.

A photo posted on Reddit shows the two rightmost lanes blocked off with traffic cones.

The Straits Times has contacted police for further information.
