It is always fun driving from one place to another but sometimes we encounter pedestrians or other drivers that destroy our day, but sometimes even worse when there is an accident with the culprit running away.
A woman recently posted on Facebook hoping that he will be able to find witnesses or dashcam footage after his car was hit by another.
The incident happened in Sengkang on 10 Feb 2022.
Here is what the woman said:
Dear all, I would like to seek help for witness/ dashcam footage for a hit and run accident along the junction of Sengkang East Road and Anchorvale Drive.
The driver was heading towards the direction of Nan Chiau High School. This happened on Thursday, 10 Feb during peak hour at around 7.10am. There were kids in the car and the driver didn’t even stop and attempt to check the damage.
Appreciate any information. Thanks!
