A MAN who dashed across the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) yesterday evening created chaos which led to five vehicles crashing near the Toh Guan exit.
The aftermath of the series of collisions across the three-lane expressway left one motorcyclist pinned under a lorry. The 53-year-old man died soon after.

Aircraft service engineer Alvin Tan, 45, who was in one of the cars involved, said the man who ran across the expressway was hit by another car which flung him into the lane he was travelling on.

Mr Tan said he slowed down to avoid hitting him, but the motorcycle behind him bumped his car and the motorcyclist ended up being struck by the lorry.

The 28-year-old man who ran across the road suffered slight abrasions and was arrested for his rash act.

Man looks like Thai. Intoxicated. Sad really.
I was in "queue" 150m from scene toward Jurong.
Took 15min for traffic to flow again from standstill.

agree, this 28 year old ought to be made to work and provide for the family of the deceased.

Why the motorcycle tailgate the car? Otherwise he should be able to stop in time.

Nowadays people running across expressways is becoming more common lah...... especially near those "forest" areas and below flyovers where the homeless resides :(

Totally agree.
People like him will think twice about behaving recklessly in future.
