Migrant worker injured in Seletar accident
A migrant worker told Shin Min Daily News that he had seen the car crashing into a cement mixer when he came for work at about 8am.
Paramedics who arrived on scene treated another migrant worker injured in the accident.
Another eyewitness, named as 30-year-old Mr Guo (transliterated from Mandarin), said the injured migrant worker had been standing next to a cement mixer when the car crashed into it.
He suffered a scrape on his leg, which led to bleeding.
Driver reportedly refused to stop for police checks
Later, at about 9am, the first migrant worker saw a man lying handcuffed to a stretcher, being monitored by police officers.
He later learned that the injured man was the driver of the black car, and that police had caught him after he fled the crash scene.
Shin Min understands that police flagged down the driver for checks by the police along Seletar South Link.
However, he refused to stop and instead drove to Seletar North Link — a distance of about 2km.
