Car Rear Ends Lorry At Bedok North, Sends It Flying Across Road Partition

Update (27 May, 3.52pm): 

The driver of the red car was a 34-year-old man, who has been arrested for suspected dangerous driving and other drug-related offences, reports 8WorldNews.

Traffic police were alerted of the collision at Tampines Avenue 10 along Bedok North Road yesterday (26 May) night, at 8.53pm.

The accident involved three cars, and a lorry. All 3 drivers were men, aged 31, 55, and 69. They were injured and taken to Changi General Hospital (CGH).

A total of 5 people were injured in the accident, including a 31-year-old female passenger who was also taken to CGH, and a 2-year-old child who was taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

Investigations are ongoing.

Having fewer cars on the road these days doesn’t mean we can slack on road safety. Sadly, this motorist at Bedok North on Tuesday (26 May) night didn’t seem to agree.

In a video shared by roads.sg, the motorist of a red saloon car was seen driving at high speed, before rear-ending a lorry.
