Claims specialists approach drivers involved in PIE accident

Recently, SG Road Vigilante posted a video that shows a group of men pulling up in front of a car that had just met with an accident along westbound PIE.

The accident in question reportedly happened on 6 Jul at around 5.55pm.

The video started with the driver of the cam car arguing, probably with the other party involved in the accident.

Not long after, a yellow Honda pulled up in front of them. 4 men from the car then got out and walked towards the pair who were arguing.

Moments later, a black Audi pulled up in front of the Honda. 2 men then alighted from the car and joined the ongoing dispute.

For some reason, the group from the yellow Honda then started talking to the 2 men who alighted from the Audi.

The men were later seen crowding around the driver involved in the accident, possibly to find out what happened.

According to the post by SG Road Vigilante, they allegedly identified themselves as claims specialists and offered their services to the driver.

Honda & Audi alleged to be linked to other road accidents

The second half of the video then cuts to show footage from a recent driving dispute in Tanah Merah.

The Honda was seen braking intermittently despite the traffic light being green. As a result, the bus travelling behind eventually collided with the Honda.

The folks behind SG Road Vigilante also collated clips concerning the black Audi. The vehicle had reportedly been involved in multiple accidents throughout Singapore.

Some also hope the authorities will track the individuals down and put a stop to their activities.
