An ambulance and an SCDF truck can also be seen at the scene.

In response to a Stomp query, SCDF said they were alerted to the road traffic accident at 9.20am.
"One person was trapped in the driver's seat. SCDF rescued him using hydraulic rescue tools," said an SCDF spokesman.
"SCDF assessed the person for minor injuries and the person subsequently refused conveyance to the hospital."
