Singapore-registered car hits pedestrian on Causeway after skidding

A Singapore-registered car recently crashed into a pedestrian on the Johor side of the Causeway.

The incident occurred on a rainy 12 Jan at around 5.38pm.

A 24-year-old Malaysian pedestrian was walking on the Causeway’s road shoulder towards Singapore, with several others ahead of him.

In a video, the Singapore-registered car drove in the opposite direction, towards Johor Bahru (JB).

Suddenly, the driver lost control, causing the vehicle to skid sideways along the road.
