On Sunday evening, May 28, a BlueSG rental car lost control and collided with a central divider railing on Punggol Road in Sengkang and crashed into a traffic light.
Following the incident, a 27-year-old man was apprehended on suspicion of driving under the influence.
The accident took place near Rivervale Plaza, prompting the prompt response of Traffic Police officers and a tow truck.
The BlueSG car sustained visible damage, with a cracked windscreen and a fender lying on the road. Additionally, the collision caused a traffic light to collapse and inflicted harm upon the road divider.
At the time the tow truck arrived, the BlueSG car was situated on top of the traffic light and the railing.
Authorities were informed of the incident at 10:22 PM. Preliminary investigations by the police indicate that the car skidded on its own while travelling along Punggol Road, specifically at the junction of Compassvale Drive.
Confirming the details, a police spokesperson stated that a 27-year-old male driver was subsequently taken into custody under suspicion of drink driving. The police are currently conducting further investigations into the matter.
By Tuesday, May 30, the damaged traffic light and road divider had been repaired.
Other BlueSG/GetGo accidents
Just last month, the Singapore Police Force said that they have arrested a 27-year-old man for suspected drink driving offences following an accident in Bayfront Avenue.
A GetGo rental car that the man was believed to have been driving was seen speeding on the road before crashing into a stationary van.
Facebook page SG Road Vigilante posted a video of the accident showing the GetGo rental car speeding and going off the course at the road junction of Bayfront Avenue and Marina Boulevard.
It then crashed into the van that was waiting at a red light at the traffic junction, narrowly missing a motorcyclist who was right beside the van at the time.
The month before that, a BlueSG car was seen beating a red light at a traffic junction and crashing into another car at Pasir Ris.
In the video that was shared on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page,a BlueSG car could be seen beating a red light at the junction.
Another car was driving through the junction at the same time, and the BlueSG car then crashed into the side of the other car.
The BlueSG car then skidded across the junction, with its headlights immediately going out after crashing into the other car.
The video also included the POV from the dashcam of the other car, as it drove across the traffic junction when the traffic light was yellow.
That same month, a GetGo driver was speeding inside a multi storey carpark and crashed into 3 other cars parked there.
One of the owners of the cars that was hit by the GetGo car, shared the videos on TikTok on 18 April and lamented about how it happened so close to the Hari Raya Puasa weekend.
In the first video shared by the OP, a red coloured car was seen knocked out of its parking spot by the the GetGo car, and its front bumper was also destroyed and fell off.
Because of the impact, the red car then hit another silver car beside it, along with another silver van that was also damaged in the accident.
Following the crash, the netizen’s car was then towed away from the scene, as seen in the second video, at about 4.50 am.
The netizen replied in the comments that the ancient took place at Block 175 Punggol Field, and said that the driver of the GetGo car was a 23-year-old “boy”.
He claimed that the GetGo driver had allegedly been driving at a speed of 50km/h inside the multi storey carpark, which usually has a speed limit of about 15km/h.
