A 20-year-old motorcyclist and his 22-year-old male pillion rider were taken to hospital after an accident involving two cars and a motorcycle on the East Coast Parkway (ECP) on Feb 21.

Stomper Lim alerted Stomp to the incident and shared a video he took as he was passing by the scene of the accident.

In the video, traffic going towards the city came to a standstill as Land Transport Authority (LTA) officers extinguished a fire involving a motorcycle lying on the road.

According to the LTA's Traffic News page on X, the accident happened before the Still Road South exit.

Motorists were advised to avoid lane 1.
