An inmate and an escorting officer were rescued by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) after they were tapped in a prison vehicle following a chain collision along the Central Expressway (CTE) on Friday (Dec 19).
The inmate had attended a medical appointment at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and was being transported to Selarang Park Complex in Upper Changi Road. Two escorting officers were with him in the prison vehicle, said the Singapore Prison Service (SPS) on Saturday.
A private vehicle rear-ended the prison vehicle while it was on the CTE towards Seletar Expressway, after Jalan Bahagia. The prison vehicle then hit another private vehicle in front of it.
