SINGAPORE – A 25-year-old man was arrested for drink driving after his car was involved in two accidents in Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Batok on Jan 14.
When contacted, the police said they were alerted to a car accident at the junction of Choa Chu Kang Way and a slip road into KJE towards PIE at 5.45am that day.
The vehicle left the scene before the police arrived, and was later found in another accident on a KJE slip road into Brickland Road towards Bukit Batok Road.
No other vehicles were involved in both accidents, the police added.
The man’s 41-year-old female passenger was conscious when the Singapore Civil Defence Force took her to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.
Police investigations are ongoing.
An eyewitness who declined to be named said he was roused from his sleep by a loud bang and saw from his window that a light-coloured car had crashed into the railing near Choa Chu Kang Way.
The car reversed before accelerating and hitting the railing again, according to the eyewitness, who sent a video he had taken to The Straits Times.
In the two-minute video, a man can be seen walking around the crashed vehicle, at times directing traffic past the accident scene.
A woman can also be seen sitting on the road near the front passenger side of the car, with her head between her knees.
