Car Crashes Into Road Signs At Balestier Road On 26 June

There have been many road incidents involving drivers and cyclists on Singapore roads. Sadly, most of these are negative in nature.

Recently, a driver crashed into several road signs along Balestier Road after seemingly losing control of their vehicle, nearly hitting a cyclist riding along the road shoulder.

Despite the collision, the driver continued with their journey as though nothing had happened.

The incident — which happened in the blink of an eye — happened near Whampoa Food Centre along Balestier Road.

At the start of the video, a cyclist can be seen riding on the road shoulder.

As he approaches a bus stop, however, a white car behind him accelerates and crashes into a few road signs after mounting the kerb.

Presumably after hearing the loud bang, the shocked cyclist does a triple-take to find out what’s happening behind him.

On the other hand, the driver did not appear bothered by the crash and continued moving slowly albeit with two wheels on the kerb.

It eventually dismounts from the kerb and the driver continues on their way as though nothing had happened.
