The Nicoll Highway exit along the Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) was closed for a few hours on Monday morning (29 May) after an accident involving a tipper truck.

Dramatic photos and videos on social media showed the truck partly turned on its side, blocking almost the whole exit in the tunnel.

The Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a tweet at 10:53am that the Nicoll Highway exit in the direction of the East Coast Parkway was closed due to the accident.

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) said they were alerted to an accident involving a tipper truck along KPE towards ECP at Exit 2A, Nicoll Highway.

A male driver was conscious when he was removed from the vehicle and taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, added the SPF. Police investigations are ongoing.

As of 1:45pm, Yahoo Singapore understands that the accident site has not yet been cleared and that operations are underway to remove the vehicle.
