A 42-year-old man was arrested for allegedly drink-driving following an accident between a Maserati and a Mercedes near the Great World shopping mall.
The man is purportedly the driver of the Maserati GranTurismo.
The Singapore Police Force said that they were alerted to the accident on the evening of 4 February at about 7.43pm.
The accident took place along Kim Seng Road, heading towards Outram road, and involved two vehicles.
A video of the aftermath of the accident made the rounds on social media, with the Mercedes being seen in the video almost turning over after mounting a kerb outside the mall.
The Maserati GranTurismo was seen behind it with its right number crushed and destroyed.
Two of the passengers, a 38-year-old and a 6-year-old, who were believed to be inside the Mercedes, refused conveyance to the hospital.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force assessed one of the passengers to have sustained minor injuries, and at the time of writing, police investigations are ongoing.
Netizens’ comments
- Good. Rainy day, and these people rushing to meet their makers instead of being more cautious!
- Playing bumper car on the road with expensive car is damn loaded
- Workshop towkays all shout “Huat Ah!”
- Actually, this junction to turn out is really dangerous. Plenty of blind spots and making it discretionary is quite risky. I dislike traffic lights but hate accidents even more. LTA should review the suitability to add a traffic light.
