Another part of the clip depicted several Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) personnel at the scene.

At least one fire engine had also been deployed.

OP says she heard loud bang

The original poster (OP) said she was having dinner when she heard a loud bang and looked outside.

She was shocked to see that a car had crashed into the railings.

She wondered how this had happened as motorists do not tend to drive fast in the area.

She also noted that the car’s right side was badly damaged, and the police and SCDF had arrived within just 5 minutes.

Thankfully, nobody was injured, she added.

1 person assessed for minor injuries

In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said it was alerted to the accident at about 7.20pm on 20 Oct.

It took place along Tampines Street 96 in the direction of Tampines Avenue 1, and involved a car that was believed to have self-skidded.

SCDF, which was alerted at about 7.15pm, told MS News that one person was assessed for minor injuries, but they declined to be sent to the hospital.

Additionally, a 19-year-old female car driver is assisting with investigations.

Police investigations are ongoing.
