The Land Transport Authority tweeted shortly after 9.30pm on Thursday, warning motorists of an accident on the BKE — which separates the Bukit Timah and the Central Catchment nature — towards Woodlands before the exit to the Kranji Expressway. The National Parks Board said it was aware of the incident. "This is the only incident involving a sambar deer that we know of on an expressway this year," said NParks wildlife management group director Adrian Loo.

"This unfortunate animal likely ventured too near to residential areas by mistake, panicked and tried to cross the expressway. We hope that the motorists involved did not sustain any injuries," Mr Kalai said, adding that more fencing could help prevent such accidents.
