According to the caption written by a follower of the account, the primary school student was allegedly hit by the car after school.
She was jaywalking, the user claimed.
After the accident, she tried to move but could not due to “intense pain”. An ambulance was thus called.

It took place Block 813A Yishun Ring Road, and involved a car and an 11-year-old female pedestrian.
