A tragic accident occurred on a Singapore expressway in Jurong West, resulting in the death of a woman. The incident took place on the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) when a minibus struck a pedestrian. Authorities were alerted to the scene following reports of the collision.
Upon arrival, emergency responders confirmed that the woman had passed away. The police have since arrested the 34-year-old male driver of the minibus to assist with ongoing investigations. The exact circumstances leading to the woman being on the expressway remain under review.
