GetGo car allegedly hit lorry that was waiting at Yishun traffic light

The eyewitness said the accident took place on Monday (25 Aug) morning, when the GetGo car hit the lorry from behind when it was waiting at a traffic light.

After the crash, the face of the GetGo driver — a tattooed young man — was covered with blood, the eyewitness added.

As he was being helped out of the vehicle, it was observed that his responses were “super slow”, but not because of the accident.

The eyewitness later realised why when the driver allegedly dropped a vape on the road while being helped to the roadside.

It was speculated to be a ‘Kpod’ — vapes laced with a drug called etomidate, which will soon be listed as a Class C drug.

While the eyewitness was thankful that the driver — as well as the couple in the lorry — were safe, they cautioned against using Kpods.

In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the accident at about 9.50am on 25 Aug.

It took place at the junction of Yishun Avenue 2 and Yishun Ring Road.

Three people were assessed for minor injuries, it added.

However, they declined to be sent to the hospital.
