1 dead, three injured after car goes against flow of traffic on AYE
UPDATE: A 53-year-old man has been arrested for a road traffic accident on the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), said the police in a statement on Monday (Dec Nineteen) night. The incident involved four cars, one motorcycle and one private bus along AYE (Tuas) before the underpass leading to Tuas checkpoint.
Preliminary investigations exposed that the suspect was travelling along AYE towards Tuas checkpoint where he was believed to have made a U-turn and drove against the flow of traffic.
He then collided into several vehicles, which resulted in the death of a 37-year-old man. The victim was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene. Four others were conveyed to the National University Hospital (NUH).
The Traffic Police also appealed to the public not to circulate photos or movies of the deceased out of respect for his family.
Anyone convicted of the offence of a rash act causing death can be jailed up to five years, fined, or both.
Police investigations are ongoing.

In the movies, a severely bruised silver-coloured car can be seen next to a wall of the AYE. The car’s bonnet was downright smashed.
A few metres away, there was a fallen motorcycle beside a stationary car surrounded by debris. A woman was lounging in front of the motorcycle. She looked to be conscious, and was being tended to by a man.
The movie then shows a flipped car on the road shoulder. Debris was sprayed all over the vehicle as other motorists rushed to check on what had happened.
