The footage also showed two white vehicles—a sedan and a sport utility vehicle—parked in the lane, surrounded by police officers, an ambulance, and a white sheet visible on the pavement.
The police said that a 35-year-old male car driver is assisting with investigations.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and police had responded to the accident involving a vehicle and a pedestrian on the Central Expressway (CTE) heading towards the Ayer Rajah Expressway, which occurred around 6am on Thursday.
A 40-year-old pedestrian was declared dead at the site by an SCDF paramedic.
It’s unknown how the pedestrian could’ve been on the expressway; there isn’t any walkway on any expressway, and it’s not legal to be walking on the expressway.
Two Other Fatal Accidents Happened in the Early Morning 3 Days Ago, Too
At around 2am on 26 June, a 22-year-old motorcyclist from Singapore passed away after losing control of his bike and falling off a highway flyover in Malaysia.
The motorbike had skidded along the highway and was found around one kilometre away from the rider’s body.
On the same morning, at around 6am, a 55-year-old driver skidded his car along the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) at the slip road entering the Central Expressway towards the Ayer Rajah Expressway. He crashed into a canal and died from the accident.
