The traffic jam on TPE starting from Punggol Exit toward Changi Airport lasted from about 1.30 pm till now (5.20 pm). From the MSCP at Blk 185, Rivervale Crescent (Just Opp Punnggol Mee Toh School), I could see the Msg flashed on the EMAS Msg Board that there is a traffic accident near Lor Halus. At least 4 or 5 ambulances were seen going to the accident area around 2.00 pm. Looking out from my house's window, I can see the jam on TPE (after Punggol exit) is still on now. It appears to me that the accident is quite serious? Anybody has any news?

Not sure if anyone has posted this thread b4. I read it in asiaone motoring. Outrageous! =================================== WHEN a motorist tried to park at a multi-storey carpark meant only for tenants at a business park, he was denied entry. But he refused to move his car even after a queue of cars formed behind him. And when police officers finally forced him to move to another spot, he shouted that he didn't care about the consequences and drove into the multi-storey carpark. As he sped up the ramp, his car hit and injured a security guard who had earlier prevented him from entering the carpark at Tradehub 21 at Boon Lay Way on Wednesday. Mr Lee Ah Hong, 64, told The New Paper that he was standing at the entrance to the carpark when he saw a black Lexus suddenly speeding towards him. He managed to jump aside as the car passed him, but his right hand was hit, leaving him with a fractured wrist. Mr Lee said the driver, whom he described as a man in his late 40s, wanted to park on the second level of the multi-storey carpark. But he did not allow the driver to enter as he did not have a label indicating that he was a tenant at Tradehub 21. Mr Gary Haris, 36, senior business development manager of KH Security Agency, said that only tenants are allowed to use the multi-storey carpark. There are other parking spaces available on the grounds of the business park. The incident happened at about 3.40pm, just minutes before Mr Lee was due to end his hourly stint at the carpark. The driver insisted on parking there and refused to move, causing a queue of five to six cars, including a police car responding to a separate matter. Intervened Three police officers from the car intervened and asked the driver to move his car so that other vehicles could pass. The driver moved his car to one of the parallel parking spaces opposite the multi-storey carpark, leaving it at a 45-degree angle away from the kerb. By then, Mr Lee's supervisor and another colleague had shown up, having seen the incident on CCTV. As they spoke to the driver, who was still in his car, Mr Lee stood in the middle of the entrance to the carpark, as he always does while on duty. Said Mr Lee in Mandarin: "Then I saw something black coming towards me. Thank goodness I ran out of the way. But I wasn't fast enough and the car hit my hand." After being hit, Mr Lee raised his right hand, using his other arm to support his wrist, and shouted at the driver that he had hit someone. Though the window on the driver's side was down, he continued speeding up the ramp, Mr Lee said. The police was called and an ambulance took Mr Lee to the hospital, where he was given outpatient treatment and four days of medical leave. Mr Lee later heard from a colleague that before the driver accelerated towards him, the driver had shouted: "I don't care about the consequences." Other employees The New Paper spoke to also mentioned that the driver had said that. Several security officers searched the 10-storey carpark for the owner and his vehicle, but could not find him. Mr Lee's son, Mr Lee Zhi Wen, 44, who also works for the same company, was having his break at a coffee shop when he heard that his father had been injured. Said the younger Mr Lee, who is still angry over the incident: "Our job is already dangerous. If the cars don't stop, our lives are at risk. "My father is in his 60s. Did the driver need to do that?" Upset Mr Lee, who lives with his wife and his daughter, is upset at not being able to work for several days. "I'm right-handed and it was my right hand that was hit," he said. "It's swollen like a pig's trotter and it hurts so bad. I can't even hold a pen. How am I supposed to work?" He is required to write down the licence plates of delivery vehicles that enter the multi-storey carpark. The New Paper understands from Mr Haris that the police identified the driver about three hours after the incident. A police spokesman confirmed that they received a call for assistance at about 3.50pm on Wednesday and are investigating. Frustrated as he is with the driver for his rash act, Mr Lee still managed to find something to be thankful for. Smiling, Mr Lee said: "At least he didn't hit my body. Now I can still celebrate Chinese New Year!"

Hi, To the silver stream driver i encountered: I have given you right signal and ample timing to cut into your lane. You used the ample time i gave to speed up and follow- on horn at me from the back. So for the safety of my wife and kid, i stop my change lane plan and let you pass. And after i change lane and at your back, u perform a hard brake. For the same safety concern, I move back to the original lane. my sincere advice is please change your driving attitude and steer toward good and safe driving manner.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A cargo ship contracted by the U.S Military Sealift Command has fired at least one shot toward an Iranian boat, a U.S. defense official said on Friday. "It was an MSC vessel," the official said, confirming the ship fired on an Iranian boat. Other details were not immediately available. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain did not have any immediate comment. The United States in January said Iranian boats threatened its warships on January 6 along a vital route for crude oil shipments.

Quite a bad jam when i took the AYE route towards Tuas. Think 5-6 cars and a motor bike involved in a chain collision. Further down, saw a damaged taxi at the road shoulder.. AND further down a lorry and a van collided!! Rainy day today. drive with care!!
