SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Two motorcyclists were taken to hospital after a seven-vehicle chain collision on the PIE on May 17.
The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force said they were alerted to the accident on the expressway towards Changi after the Upper Bukit Timah Road exit at around 9.50am.
Four cars, one taxi and two motorcycles were involved in the accident, said the police.
Two male motorcyclists, aged 24 and 30, were taken conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Police investigations are ongoing.
In a video posted on Facebook page SGRV, a car in the rightmost lane of the expressway has its brake lights flashing in quick succession before slowing down.
This appears to cause a car behind it to make a sudden stop, and to be hit by another vehicle.
The video also shows a red car trying to take evasive action and hitting the foliage at the expressway divider before coming to a stop.
Moments later, a motorbike skids across the lanes, landing in the middle of the expressway.
It appears to be raining at the time of the accident. - The Straits Times/ANN
