SINGAPORE, Nov 14 — A total of five heavy vehicles — a lorry, a trailer, one tipper truck, and two buses — were involved in two separate accidents along a stretch of the Ayer Rajah Expressway on Friday (Nov 13) morning.

The first accident, involving a lorry and two buses, happened at about 6.55am, while the second accident, involving a trailer and tipper truck, occurred at about 8.15am.

Both accidents happened within metres of each other and were in the direction towards the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE).

A video of the aftermath shows a Malaysia-registered trailer and a tipper truck on the leftmost lane.

Both vehicles left tyre marks on the road surface, and the tipper truck ends up crashing into a barrier.

Further ahead — just after the merging lane — two buses are seen stopped along the road shoulder, while a lorry is seen on the leftmost lane behind them.

In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the police said that no injuries were reported in the two accidents.

They added that a 40-year-old male bus driver and a 35-year-old male trailer driver are assisting with ongoing police investigations in relation to the first and second accident respectively.

Of the 15,292 vehicles involved in accidents last year, some 2,455 were either goods van or pick-up; lorry, tipper trucktrailer; or buses.
