SINGAPORE – A 73-year-old female driver was taken to hospital after her car was involved in an accident in Serangoon on Jan 5.
In a dashcam video of the accident that was circulated online, the car exits a carpark from the left and whizzes across two lanes, past oncoming traffic, before crashing through a road divider.
In response to queries, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said on Jan 6 that they were alerted to an accident involving three cars along Serangoon Central at about 6pm.
An eyewitness told Chinese media outlet Shin Min Daily News that around five passers-by knocked on the crashed car to check on the driver. After sitting in her car for a while, the woman, who had a walking cane, was helped out of her car by the passers-by.
According to the SCDF, the woman was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The police said the woman was conscious when she was taken to the hospital.
