In a startling incident on Saturday, December 9, at around 7 a.m., a car lost control, colliding with a roadside barrier, leading to a thorough investigation by the authorities.
This unfolding drama occurred on the stretch of Bartley Road heading towards Braddell Road in Singapore, according to Shin Min Daily News.
Traffic jam
According to Ms. Yang, a 40-year-old administrative professional, told SMDN that the accident disrupted her morning commute as her husband drove her to work. The situation took a sudden turn when they encountered a severe traffic jam.
“For about 10 minutes, we were stuck, and the first five minutes were completely immobile. After that, the entire line of cars started moving slowly,” she recounted.
The video provided by Ms. Yang revealed a scene of disruption with two police cars, two traffic police motorcycles, a fire truck, and an ambulance parked on the left lanes of the road.
Numerous civil defense personnel surrounded a black sedan that had collided with the roadside barrier. The driver’s seat of the sedan was left ajar, and the individuals involved sat by the roadside, undergoing questioning by several officers.
The sedan was reportedly seen to be out of control, and collided with the roadside barrier. The aftermath of the incident showcased a coordinated response from the police and civil defense teams, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
Drug related offences
Upon inquiry, both the Singapore Police Force and Civil Defense Force confirmed receiving a report about the accident. The incident involved a sedan, believed to have skidded on its own.
