The aftermath of the PIE accident was caught on video and shared to the SGRoad Block/Traffic News Telegram group.

The clip showed that six cars, including a red Trans-Cab taxi, were involved in a chain collision on the second left-most lane of the expressway.

At least four cars had their bonnets damaged from the impact.

The two left-most lanes of the expressway were cordoned off.

Police cars, a fire engine and five ambulances were seen at the scene.

In response to Mothership's queries, SCDF said three persons were conveyed to National University Hospital.

Another three persons were sent to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
