SINGAPORE – A 22-year-old man was arrested for drink driving and careless driving causing hurt, after an accident involving two cars and a van in Yishun on the morning of June 11.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they were alerted to an accident at the junction of Yishun Avenue 1 and Avenue 6 at 6am.
