Car driver flees on foot after evading police and crashing into four vehicles in Telok Blangah

The police are looking for a car driver who left the scene after crashing into four other vehicles in Telok Blangah.

Footage shared on TikTok on Tuesday (4 Nov) showed the car evading the police Grand Theft Auto-style by driving onto a road divider and speeding off.

The video, taken by another motorist, showed a police car stopping behind a bus at a road junction along Telok Blangah Drive.

Two police officers got out, with one of them approaching the bus driver.

The other police officer appeared to be trying to stop a red car that was between the bus and the police car.

Suddenly, the red car mounted the road divider and escaped into the lane going the other direction.

It then made a right turn and sped off into Telok Blangah Street 31, its tyres screeching.

At this point, the logo of Drive Lah, a car rental company, could be seen on the car.

Another video posted by SG Road Vigilante on Facebook showed the same car turning onto Henderson Road, where it promptly collides into the back of another bus.

Both the bus and the car come to a stop after the crash.

The driver’s door of the car then opens, and a person appears to come out.

Another clip taken by a passing motorist showed the scene of the accident, with smoke coming out from the red car’s wrecked hood. The clip does not show the driver though.

The last clip showed a man believed to be the car driver running alongside the road.

The man, who had tattoos on his arm and legs, was carrying items in his right hand and occasionally looking backwards as he ran.

The original poster on TikTok also shared his photo.
