SINGAPORE – A 27-year-old man was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs late on Aug 6, following an accident in Bedok Reservoir Road involving three cars.

The police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) were alerted to an accident at Bedok Reservoir Road towards Eunos Link at about 10.20pm on Aug 6.

Two drivers – a 50-year-old man and another 27-year-old man – were conscious when taken to Changi General Hospital.

Two others were checked for minor injuries but declined to be taken to the hospital, SCDF said.

Two vaporisers were seized in the incident, with the related offence referred to the Health Sciences Authority, said the police.
