On Friday (Sep. 25) afternoon, a trailer tipped over on Kranji Expressway (KJE), at the slip road exiting toward Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).

According to photos posted by Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, the trailer was on its side, with sand scattered all over the road around it.

The tractor truck part of the trailer laid diagonally across two lanes of the road.

Blocked off traffic for several kilometres

According to photos and a video posted by SG Road Vigilante, the accident blocked off traffic, and caused quite a jam.

According to updates by the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the BKE exit was closed starting around 1:15pm.
