The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted at about 7.55am to the accident along the AYE towards Central Expressway before the Pan Island Expressway exit.
Nine people were taken by SCDF to the National University Hospital, while another 13 were taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
At least 15 motorcycles, one van, one lorry and three buses were involved, the police said on Friday in response to a query from CNA.
