Vehicle drove over a kerb and hit a van, netizens share opinions on what happened
SINGAPORE: A video showing a car mounting a kerb and crashing into a van at Geylang East Central has left many online wondering what caused the incident.
Footage shared by SGRV on June 4 appeared to show a Honda Civic leaving the roadway before colliding with a stationary BYD T3 van on the other side of the kerb.
The post’s caption suggested the footage could serve as evidence for the van owner when reporting the incident.
The unusual nature of the crash quickly drew attention online, with many viewers trying to figure out how the vehicle ended up off the road.
Some speculated that the driver may have fallen asleep behind the wheel or accidentally stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. Others suggested a medical emergency may have played a role, although the cause of the crash has not been confirmed.
A number of commenters remarked that road accidents involving drivers losing control of their vehicles appear to be occurring more frequently, while others called for stricter penalties for dangerous driving offences.
The circumstances surrounding the crash remain unclear.
The incident comes weeks after a 74-year-old man was arrested following an alleged hit-and-run crash in Ubi involving three cars and a cyclist.
Footage from that incident showed a vehicle travelling towards a group of cyclists waiting at a traffic junction before crashing into bicycles, barricades and a traffic light. The vehicle also struck a taxi before driving away.
