A Facebook group named SG Road Vigilante uploaded a video of an accident that occurred on Tuesday. In the footage, a white Toyota Vellfire registered in Malaysia is observed making a right turn at a traffic junction onto Jurong West Street 65. Meanwhile, a man starts crossing the road from the left side, apparently oblivious to the car approaching from the right.
Despite the pedestrian’s presence, the driver continues without stopping and collides with him using the multi-purpose vehicle.
Following the impact, the man collapses on the road’s edge, and the driver gets out of the car to assess his condition.
According to Strait Times, the Singapore Civil Defence Force and police received notification of the incident around 9:20 am. The pedestrian, aged 47, was conscious at the time of transportation to the National University Hospital, but unfortunately, he passed away on Thursday, according to the police. The driver, aged 41, is cooperating with the investigation.
