SINGAPORE - A collision occurred between a trailer and lorry on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) towards Tuas, next to the Jurong Town Hall Road exit on Thursday (March 23) afternoon.

The lorry driver and his two passengers suffered minor injuries and were sent to the National University Hospital after they were extricated from the crushed cabin by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

No other injuries were reported.

One of the passengers in his 40s suffered from a head injury. The other passenger was wounded in the leg, said Mr Sam Ng, 53, a colleague of the injured who rushed to the accident scene.
