Bollards stop car from crashing into Clementi coffeeshop
According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident occurred at the carpark near Block 449 Clementi Avenue 3 at about 6.35pm on Monday (28 July).
As the driver allegedly lost control of her beige car, the vehicle collided with a motorcycle and a black car.
It then sped towards the dining area of the coffeeshop but came to a halt upon hitting the bollards.
Photographs showed that the front of the car was seriously damaged from the impact. The car’s license plate had also broken off and somehow landed on the windshield.
Meanwhile, the ‘stalwart’ bollard suffered significant damage and leaned on a tilt.
