“Middle-aged” pedestrian crosses AYE on foot

According to the timestamp on the dashcam footage, the accident happened on Sunday (14 Jun) at around 9am.

Nothing seems amiss at the start of the video, with the dashcam vehicle cruising along the right-most lane of AYE near the Clementi Avenue 2 exit.

At around the 3-second mark of the video, a human silhouette was seen making its way across the road.

As the dashcam vehicle gets nearer, the “middle-aged” female pedestrian continued crossing the road, and appeared to be on a collision course with the car.

Thankfully, the driver manages to swerve to the left in time. He also did not crash into another vehicle while doing that.

Others couldn’t help but realise that the pedestrian only made her way through half of the road, and had another half on the other side of the road.

One netizen, however, pointed out that the pedestrian might be suffering from a mental disorder, which may explain her seemingly strange actions.

Walking along expressways is extremely dangerous

Regardless of her reasons, we hope the pedestrian made it to ‘safe grounds’ eventually without causing any traffic accidents.

Walking along normal roads is dangerous enough, doing so on expressways is akin to walking into a lion’s den, and may endanger both the pedestrian and other motorists’.
