Mercedes driver taken to hospital after high-speed accident on PIE
A 32-year-old man was taken to hospital after a car crash on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) in the early hours of Monday (Jan 31).
The accident happened on the PIE towards Changi Airport before Thomson Road, said the police in a statement.
Footage of the accident can be seen in a YouTube video clip posted on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook channel.
It shows a white Mercedes travelling at high speed and attempting to negotiate a bend on the expressway.
The driver of the car appears to lose control of the vehicle coming out of the bend, and the car starts to fishtail – with the rear of the car swaying from side to side.
It then crashes into the road divider, flips upside down and starts spinning in mid-air before crash landing.
The video was posted at 1.30am on Monday.
The police said they were alerted to the accident at 1.04am, and investigations are ongoing.
