A 44-year-old man was arrested for drink-driving following an accident involving two cars and a taxi along the Central Expressway (CTE) towards the Seletar Expressway (SLE) before Moulmein road exit in the early hours of Dec. 7.

A video of the collision was shared to the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page.

In the video, a dark coloured car was seen swerving from the second right-most lane to the left-most fifth lane before colliding into a white car.

The white car then veered right across all lanes to hit the road divider next to the right-most lane.

A vehicle then collided with the white car and the road divider, causing damage to its front bumper.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police confirmed that they were alerted to the road traffic accident at around 3:55am.

A 65-year-old male taxi driver, his 42-year-old male passenger and another 33-year-old female car passenger were conveyed conscious to the hospital.
