Netizens urge motorists to focus & be careful

The video gained virality online, garnering almost 300 shares at the time of writing.

Many netizens opined that the double accident could have happened because motorists were looking at the accident on the other side of the road instead of paying attention.

MS News has reached out to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) about the accident.

Always stay vigilant & aware on roads

It is currently unclear whether the accidents were purely coincidental or were indirectly linked to one another.

However, the advice from netizens rings true no matter the circumstances. People tend to slow down and stare at accidents when driving by.

While it’s human nature to do so, all road users must be vigilant at all times.
