A 37-year-old woman jumped off an overhead bridge along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) on Friday afternoon (April 22).
A contributor to Stomp, Azhar, received photos of what happened via WhatsApp, and then forwarded them to the citizen journalism website.
In one of the photos, the woman can be seen lying on the road. A traffic police officer and members of the public were attending to her.
Another photo shows police vehicles and an ambulance under the bridge where the woman jumped.
