Serangoon Viaduct: 2 cars overspeed, overtake, crash into vehicles

Singapore — Two vehicles spotted speeding and weaving through traffic dangerously along Serangoon Viaduct ended up crashing into one another and other stationary vehicles.

An Audi A5 and Hyundai Elantra were caught on a dashboard camera overtaking vehicles recklessly along Upper Serangoon Viaduct on Saturday (Sept 18).

The drivers’ decision soon resulted in an accident involving other vehicles.

The video, uploaded by Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, began with the Audi weaving through a bus and white sedan.

The Hyundai followed seconds after.

The white sedan was then seen changing to the middle lane as there were stationary vehicles up ahead by the side of the road.

Given their speed, the Audi and Hyundai did not foresee the stationary vehicles. The Audi even transferred to the lane with the stationary cars at the last second.

In an attempt to avoid a collision, the Hyundai swerved to the right, only to crash into the road barrier.

The Hyundai then collided with the Audi.

As the cam car moved past the accident, it appears that the stationary vehicles were also involved in a collision.

Passengers were seen standing by the side of the road, shocked at the following accident.

With the addition of the Audi and the Hyundai, a total of five vehicles were affected in the accident.

In response to the video, one Kenneth Goh noted having witnessed the Audi prior to the accident.

“Ah, I saw this Audi with no driving sense overtaking on the PIE to Ubi that day haha keep getting stuck behind cars despite his attempts to overtake and was still slower than the rest of us that just kept to the lane haha… Really stupid accident,” said Mr Goh.

Others noted that the footage would serve as proof for authorities. “Good with the video evidence Traffic Police can prosecute both with harsher punishments,” said Facebook user Riduan Sariff. /TISG
