SINGAPORE - A pedestrian has died two days after he was hit by a car while crossing a road in Jurong West.
In a video of the Tuesday accident posted on Facebook group SG Road Vigilante, a Malaysia-registered white Toyota Vellfire can be seen making a right turn at a traffic junction into Jurong West Street 65.
A man then starts crossing from the left side of the road, seemingly unaware that a car is approaching from his right.
The driver fails to stop and the multi-purpose vehicle hits the pedestrian.
The man can be seen keeled over on the side of the road after being hit, as the driver exits the vehicle to check on him.
In response to queries, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force said they were alerted to the accident at about 9.20am.
The 47-year-old pedestrian was conscious when taken to National University Hospital. But the police said he subsequently died on Thursday.
The 41-year-old driver is assisting with investigations, added the police.
