SINGAPORE – A man died in an accident involving his motorcycle and two cars on the AYE towards Tuas on the afternoon of Oct 3.

The police said in a media reply that they were alerted to the accident at about 3.35pm, and that a 40-year-old male motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic.

The Straits Times has contacted SCDF for more information.

In a post at about 3.10pm on social media platform X, the Land Transport Authority said that there was an accident on the AYE towards Tuas, after Tuas West Road. It urged motorists to avoid lanes 1 and 2.

Photos of the aftermath uploaded to Facebook show a motorcycle on its side on the right-most lane of a part of AYE that appears to be near the Tuas Checkpoint.

A white sheet is laid beside the motorcycle, with a black car with a dented rear stopped just in front of the motorcycle.

A police motorcycle and an SCDF ambulance are also visible on the second lane.

Police investigations are ongoing.

This is at least the third reported fatal traffic-related accident here over the past week.

On Oct 1, a 28-year-old male motorcyclist died in hospital after an accident on the PIE involving a lorry.

That same day, a 62-year-old female cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene following an accident that involved a trailer at the junction of Defu Avenue 1 and Defu Lane 7.
