Two cars clash along Lorong 6 Toa Payoh slip road on Bishan FlyoverÂ
On Monday (18 Aug) night, two cars were involved in a traffic accident along a slip road on Bishan flyover.
As one of the drivers accelerated, the other lane changed across double white lines, resulting in the latter’s vehicle side-swiping the former.
Dashcam footage of the incident was shared on the Singapore Road Vigilante (SGRV) Facebook page on Tuesday (19 Aug).
MPV driver speeds up in response to other driver switching on turn signal
At the start of the dashcam footage, a grey multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) was seen travelling along the left-most lane.
The other car, a grey sedan, was seen travelling in the middle lane with its left turn signal turned on.
As they approached the Lorong 6 Toa Payoh exit, the car in the left-most lane started accelerating, seemingly ignoring the other car’s intention.
