Car flips 360 degrees after rear-ending another car along Tampines Road
A dramatic accident unfolded on Tampines Road on Saturday (22 Feb) when a car flipped 360 degrees after colliding with another vehicle, sending one person to the hospital.
Footage uploaded by SG Road Vigilante on Facebook showed two cars attempting to merge into the same lane.
A red car, which was behind a bus in the first lane, was signalling to merge into the second lane.
However, a white car, which was travelling along the second lane, seemed to accelerate instead of slowing down to allow the red car into the lane.
