It happened before the underpass leading to the Tuas Checkpoint, after a silver Mercedes-Benz travelling against traffic slammed into several vehicles, killing one person and injuring five others.The TNP reader, who wanted to be known only as Mr Glenn, described it as the worst accident he has ever seen.
That was why he called The New Paper hotline.
