SINGAPORE - A blue Mercedes-Benz car flipped on its side after it collided into a tree and crashed onto a pavement near Middle Road early on Tuesday.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and police said they were alerted to the accident near the junction of Middle Road and Queen Street at about 2am.
An eyewitness told Chinese news outlet Shin Min Daily News that the car was going at high speed before the accident.
She added that four to five men helped the driver and a passenger out of the car. They then flipped the car back upright. After the good Samaritans spoke to the pair, the duo hailed a taxi and left before the police and SCDF arrived, according to the eyewitness.
Pictures obtained by Shin Min show inflated airbags in the front cabin of the car, which was scratched and dented.
SCDF said that its assistance was not required. The police did not say if the driver was at the scene when they arrived, but that investigations are ongoing.
