What happened?

A massive crash took place in Seletar Expressway (SLE) on 6 July 2023 after a Toyota lorry lost control and skidded, causing a chain collision involving 5 other motorcyclists and a car.

As we can see in the footage, the motorcyclists were left with no time to react. One motorcyclist leapt off his bike to avoid the crash, while others were unable to avoid it and caused a pile up.

The first motorcyclist was also put between the lorry and a Honda, though the extent of the damage to the Honda is unknown.

In the aftermath of the incident, it is shown that shrapnel was left littered across the road, while some of the riders involved were lying on the ground, injured. Fortunately, other riders were present to help them out and ensure their well being. The injured riders were conscious and sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital.

It is not known what happened to cause the lorry to lose control, or the condition of the lorry driver.

Online chatter

Many blamed the lorry for the incident, some giving their own experiences of how heavy vehicles are in the wrong lanes. 
A couple of people however, blamed the bikes for lane splitting.
