Police Vehicle Mounts Kerb in Sembawang After Self-Skidding
A police vehicle skidded and mounted the kerb at the junction of Sembawang Drive and Sembawang Crescent West on 21 August 2025. The incident, which occurred around 1:15pm, involved a 27-year-old male officer who was driving the vehicle.
The Singapore Police Force confirmed that no injuries were reported and the officer is assisting with investigations. Authorities believe the vehicle self-skidded, and further inquiries are ongoing to determine the exact cause.
Scene Observations
A video uploaded to the Facebook group Singapore roads accident.com showed the police car almost fully on the grass strip, with only its front right and rear right wheels remaining on the road. Around four police officers were seen near the vehicle, including one emerging from the driver’s side. A traffic police officer was also present at the scene.
The footage highlights the unusual positioning of the vehicle and suggests the skidding incident occurred under unclear circumstances, prompting authorities to review the situation carefully.
Investigation Underway
Police investigations are continuing to determine whether road conditions, vehicle factors, or other circumstances contributed to the self-skidding. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining vigilance even for emergency vehicles.
Authorities have not indicated any disciplinary action at this stage, focusing instead on understanding the cause to prevent similar occurrences in the future. The public is reassured that the situation was contained without injuries and that standard procedures are being followed.
