PUBLISHED ONJune 28, 2026 4:53 AMUPDATEDJune 29, 2026 2:40 PMBYSean LerCranes had to be called in to lift two heavy vehicles from a ditch after a three-vehicle accident happened on the PIE towards Tuas on Saturday (June 27) at about 2.25pm.
The incident involved one cement bulk tanker, a tow truck and a car.
Photographs and videos of the incident posted on social media show the cement bulk tanker and tow truck in a ditch along the centre divider.
The driver's cabin of the bulk tanker is seen impinging onto the road in the direction towards Changi, resulting in the closure of one of four lanes on that side of the expressway.
Meanwhile, a second lane on the Tuas-bound carriageway is closed off, as two cranes work to lift the heavy vehicles.
AsiaOne understands that the tanker was being towed by the tow truck, which lost control and veered across lanes.

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police stated that no injuries were reported, but investigations are ongoing.
Motorists have frequently referred to that stretch of the PIE as an accident-prone area.
On May 30, two accidents happened, almost simultaneously, along both sides of the same PIE stretch, and a total of seven cars and two motorcycles were involved in the two accidents.
A 23 year-old pillion rider died in the hospital following the accident.
