On May 21, 2023, a collision involving a McLaren occurred under a viaduct along Keppel Road towards Shenton Way. Images of the incident have recently surfaced on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook group. The photographs depict significant damage to the McLaren which appears to be black and green in colour.
Notably, the car’s bonnet was found separated from the rest of the vehicle, having landed some distance away. Paramedics were present at the scene to provide medical assistance.
Both the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed receiving reports of a car accident on Keppel Road around 10 p.m. A 28-year-old female passenger from the car was transported to Singapore General Hospital, remaining conscious.
While ongoing investigations by the authorities have not addressed the identity of the driver, SG Road Vigilante’s Facebook post alleged that the driver was nowhere to be seen after the accident after allegedly leaving his girlfriend behind, who was rescued by paramedics.
Accidents with abandoned vehicles
Earlier this year, a 12-year-old boy had allegedly stolen a private bus that belonged to A&S Transit and went on a 5-hour joyride, driving 100km across Singapore through Tampines, Bedok, Pasir Ris and Punggol, using up a quarter of the petrol in the process.
He had allegedly crashed the bus and abandoned it at a bus bay, before disembarking and fleeing while being chased by the police, who eventually caught him.
In another separate case earlier this year, a motorcyclist abandoned his motorcycle after crashing and ran away from the police.
A video emerged online showing a motorcyclist skidding and crashing on the road, falling onto the pavement before getting up and running away.
A traffic police officer riding a bike soon reached the scene seconds later from right behind the fallen rider, and the rider then hurriedly got back up on his feet and fled the scene, running away towards the left.
The traffic police officer then got off his bike quickly as well and gave chase to the fleeing motorcyclist, with another traffic police officer pulling up next to the first officer, before getting off his bike too and giving chase as well.
