Drivers using the Seletar Expressway (SLE) in Singapore experienced traffic disruptions on September 23 after multiple accident alerts were reported along the road toward the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).
The first alert was issued at about 7:56 a.m. after an accident was reported after Yishun, with congestion extending back toward the Tampines Expressway (TPE). Lanes 1, 2 and 3 were listed as affected.
Accident Reported After Yishun
Traffic-monitoring information indicated that the first crash occurred along the SLE after Yishun in the direction of BKE.
The incident caused traffic congestion in the area, with motorists approaching the affected stretch advised to take care and allow additional travel time.
No information was available in the report about the vehicles involved or whether anyone was injured.
Second SLE Crash Reported After TPE
Another accident alert was issued less than an hour later at approximately 8:35 a.m.
The second incident was reported on the same SLE direction after the TPE, with Lane 1 listed as affected.
The available traffic information did not provide details about the circumstances of the second crash or whether it was connected to the earlier incident.
Injuries and Fatalities Not Confirmed
There was no confirmed information in the available reports about injuries or deaths resulting from either accident.
The identities of any people involved, the number of vehicles affected and the extent of damage were also not provided.
Further details would depend on updates from traffic authorities or emergency services responding to the incidents.
Road Works May Also Affect Traffic
The SLE was also subject to scheduled road and infrastructure works during September, including overnight restrictions associated with road-sign upgrading and other construction activity.
Motorists travelling through the affected areas should follow temporary traffic-management measures and instructions from personnel at the scene.
SLE Traffic Update for Drivers
Traffic conditions on the SLE can change as damaged vehicles are removed and congestion begins to ease.
Drivers heading toward BKE should reduce speed, maintain a safe following distance and remain alert for traffic-management directions around the reported accident locations.
At this stage, the available information confirms traffic accidents and disruption along the route but does not establish the number of casualties, vehicles involved or the causes of the crashes.
