Kind DHL Driver Piggybacks Elderly Man Across Street At Bugis As Traffic Light Turns Green

DHL Driver Helps Elderly Across Road At Waterloo Street

Crossing the busy roads of Singapore can be a nightmare for those with limited mobility, but sometimes unsung heroes step up to offer a helping hand.

On Friday (17 May), a DHL driver allegedly went out of his way to help an elderly man with a walking aid cross the road.

Here is the heartwarming video in full, uploaded by ROADS.sg on Facebook.

Elderly man couldn’t cross the road in time

At the start of the video, an elderly man in a yellow shirt can be seen approached by a DHL driver as he was crossing the road along Waterloo Street at about 10.45am.

The DHL driver had allegedly stopped his vehicle to help the elderly man, who was just halfway across the road when the pedestrian light turned red.

The DHL driver then tried to hasten his speed by guiding him across the road with the help of his walking aid.

A black car later cut through the lane, proving how dangerous the journey could otherwise be for the old man.
