The collision occurred near a traffic light junction, where the car appeared to have veered off course before crashing head-on into the lamp post.

The traffic light next to the lamp post looked to be slightly damaged as well, although it continued to function.

A ComfortDelGro taxi could be seen nearby, though it was unclear if the taxi driver witnessed the collision or arrived afterwards.
