Clementi rail accident
1993 train collision in Singapore
About
On the morning of 5 August 1993, a C151 electric multiple unit (EMU) train on the East West Line of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) rear-ended another stationary train of the same type at Clementi MRT station in Singapore. The incident, the MRT's first major accident, injured 156 passengers but caused no fatalities. Investigations found that the crash was due to a maintenance vehicle that had leaked about 50 litres (11 imp gal; 13 US gal) of oil onto the tracks the previous night.
