The man refused to be taken to the hospital, said the police.

“When roadside trees are hit and damaged by a vehicle, and it is established that it is due to recklessness, negligence or intoxication of the motorist, the motorist may be fined, starting from S$2,000 a tree,” noted ROADS.sg. The page was referring to the Parks and Trees Act and the National Parks Board’s (NParks) composition amount.
