In a recent incident on June 2, 2023, at approximately 10 PM, a young boy riding a kick scooter unexpectedly crashed into a vehicle while crossing a four-lane road. The incident took place on North Bridge Road in Singapore.
The event occurred during a public holiday night, characterized by heavy traffic and a large number of pedestrians. A video capturing the incident was shared on the Facebook group SG Road Vigilante. The footage shows the uploader’s vehicle attempting to turn from Tan Quee Lan St onto North Bridge Road amidst the bustling road traffic and numerous pedestrians.
Within the vehicle, there were at least two individuals present. One of them expressed concerns about another woman who appeared stressed due to work-related issues. Just as she was describing the stress, the boy on the kick scooter collided with their vehicle.
In the video, it is evident that the young boy, carrying two large plastic bags on his scooter, crossed the major road by darting across four lanes, passing behind a taxi and a car, before crashing into the uploader’s vehicle with a loud impact.
Following the collision, there was a delayed honk, a momentary pause, before another woman in the vehicle exclaimed in concern, “Oh s-t, are you okay? Hey!”
A young, shaken voice responded, “It’s okay.”
She inquired again about the boy’s well-being, but there was no audible response before the videos cuts off, with the boy presumably riding off after that.
