SINGAPORE - A man was arrested for drug-related offences, after an accident on the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) on New Year’s Day.
The police said on Jan 2 that they were alerted at about 12.55pm on Jan 1 to an accident involving three cars on the BKE towards Woodlands.
In dashcam footage uploaded on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook group on Jan 2, a red Mitsubishi car can be seen swerving in and out of the two right-most lanes of the expressway at high speed.
While on the right-most lane, the red car hits a sedan on its left, which in turn collides into a hatchback on its left. The hatchback then veers to its left and crashes into the guard rails at the side of the expressway, while the red car bounces off the guardrails of the centre divider.
“A 44-year-old man was subsequently arrested for suspected drug-related offences,” said the police, adding that investigations are ongoing. The Straits Times understands that the suspect was driving the red Mitsubishi.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the accident at about 1pm and assessed a person for minor injuries. The person declined to be taken to hospital.
