Two people were injured in a traffic accident along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) on Wednesday (Jan 21). 

In a Facebook post on Jan 21, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said there was a traffic accident at exit 10B of the BKE leading into Woodlands Checkpoint. 

It added that the traffic was blocked on two lanes and told travellers to expect delays. 

The accident, involving a car and a motorcycle, took place at about 8.45am.

AsiaOne understands that both motor vehicles bore Malaysia registration plates. 

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that a 47-year-old male motorcyclist and his 45-year-old female pillion were taken to the hospital. 

The police added that a 38-year male driver of a Malaysia-registered car was arrested for dangerous driving causing grievous hurt. 

In another Facebook post at 10.07am later that day, ICA said the blocked lanes had been cleared.
