Singapore — The Singapore ‘kampung’ spirit was recently highlighted on social media after a vehicle disregarded a red traffic light and ended up T-boned and overturned by an incoming car. More than a dozen people were captured on camera working together to lift the vehicle that flipped over to assist a victim caught underneath.
A blue Honda Vezel was spotted running a red light at the junction of North Bridge Road and Parliament Place on Sunday morning (Nov 14).
A video of the incident was shared by Facebook page ROADS.sg on Monday (Nov 15).
The vehicle capturing the scene on the dashboard camera came to a full stop at the junction as the lights were red. However, the Honda Vezel to its right sped on through the intersection.
Moments later, a black BMW crashed into the Honda.
The impact caused the Honda to flip on its side, getting wedged onto the road bollards.
Passengers from both vehicles soon alighted to check the situation.
It appears that a person was stuck under the Honda as it rolled over.
Passing vehicles soon stopped by the area and helped lift the car to an upright position.
According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), it was alerted to a road traffic incident near the Parliament House. Five people were conveyed to the Singapore General Hospital.
“Kudos and big thank you to the cam car driver, wife, and all others who assisted in this accident,” added ROADS.sg.
Investigations are ongoing. /TISG
