SINGAPORE — Four people were taken to hospital, including a driver who was arrested for allegedly drink-driving, after a crash on the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on Friday (Dec 11) night.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and the police were called at about 10.05pm on Friday after a crash on the PIE towards Tuas, before the exit to Adam Road.
One person was found trapped in the driver's seat of a car and hydraulic tools were used to rescue the person, said SCDF.
