A video emerged online showing a hit-and-run accident between a car driver and a teenage cyclist who was cycling across the road.
The incident happened on 6 July at Bukit Batok West Avenue 5.
The traffic light was green in the favour of the cyclist at the time of the hit and run accident.
The driver was seen in the video making a left turn at the same time the cyclist was crossing the road, and the driver then ran him over.
The cyclist was left in a heap on the ground as the driver then hurriedly fled the scene without even slowing down or stopping to check on the cyclist.
Potential penalties
It is a punishable offence to leave the scene of an accident, which is considered a hit-and-run – upon conviction, first-time offenders face a fine of up to $3,000 or a jail term of up to 12 months.
