THREE people were killed and two injured in a single car accident in the city’s Yangtze River Tunnel yesterday afternoon, police said.

The accident took place at about 2pm as the car was being driven from Chongming Island to Pudong.

Police said fire fighters pulled the injured out of the car, but three of them later died at hospital.

The accident caused congestion as two lanes were shut down for the rescue, with traffic order restored after 4pm.
