Chaos on the Pan‑Island Expressway: Six Cars, Four Injured, Lots of Drama
On a sunny Saturday afternoon in Singapore, a pretty disastrous domino effect took place on the Pan‑Island Expressway (PIE), just north of the Jalan Eunos exit. Six vehicles collided in a chain reaction that left four people nursing bumps and bruises before heading to the hospital.
The Crash
- Time: 2:08 pm – the police were called straight away.
- Location: PIE, heading toward Changi.
- Vehicle count: 6 cars (yes, that’s six – a bumper-to-bumper nightmare).
Who Is Hurt?
- Four survivors, all women, ranging from 7 years old to 66 years old.
- They were conscious when rescuers arrived, which was a huge relief.
Hospital Handoff
- KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital received the 7‑year‑old and the 9‑year‑old. These little kids were likely checking out of the front row of the emergency room.
- Changi General Hospital took care of the 63‑year‑old and the 66‑year‑old. The seniors were treated with the usual care that makes them feel like they’re getting a spa day in a hospital.
Quick Recovery
All injuries were minor, and the affected folks were released the same day. It’s a relief when you see that tragedies can still have a small loophole of a happy ending – or at least a light‑hearted one.
Thanks to swift emergency services and heroic drivers who heeded the call, everyone got back on their feet quickly. Hopefully, the next time traffic gets chaotic, it might involve less cars!
