Because of my problematic right eye, I was wearing one contact lens at that time therefore I couldn't see much of the commotion. But with my remaining good eye, I saw police cars, an ambulance, a lorry, some cars, and several people standing in the middle of the expressway.
Just this afternoon, I finally knew why.
A MAN who dashed across the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) yesterday evening created chaos which led to five vehicles crashing near the Toh Guan exit.
The aftermath of the series of collisions across the three-lane expressway left one motorcyclist pinned under a lorry. The 53-year-old man died soon after.
Aircraft service engineer Alvin Tan, 45, who was in one of the cars involved, said the man who ran across the expressway was hit by another car which flung him into the lane he was travelling on.
Mr Tan said he slowed down to avoid hitting him, but the motorcycle behind him bumped his car and the motorcyclist ended up being struck by the lorry.
The 28-year-old man who ran across the road suffered slight abrasions and was arrested for his rash act.
And I thought that there were only funny why-did-the-chicken-cross-road jokes.
Well I guess Singapore has really peculiar people with strange habits such as jumping off MRT platforms and dashing across busy highways.
