Woman, 34, sent to hospital after 5-car accident along CTE near Ang Mo Kio Ave 1

A five-car accident along the Central Expressway (CTE) resulted in a 34-year-old woman being sent to hospital.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Mothership that they were alerted to the accident around 5:30pm on May 4.

The accident occurred along the CTE towards Seletar Expressway (SLE) before Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 exit.

Five lanes congested due to accident

A video taken from a bus showed the jam along the expressway, with all five lanes congested and almost at a standstill.

It was then revealed in the video that two of the right-most lanes of the road were cordoned off by police officers due to the accident.

The hood of a white vehicle appeared to have crashed into the expressway's centre divider.

Another two cars were damaged in the accident.

Several police officers were present at the scene, with at least two ambulances on-site.

A 34-year-old female car passenger was conveyed to the hospital, while another two were assessed for minor injuries.

They declined to be sent to the hospital.

Police investigations are ongoing.
