Motorists may have to go through congestion when road accidents occur as they carefully manoeuvre their way around the debris.

The incident was captured in a video that later went viral, with many netizens complimenting the man’s thoughtful actions.
On Saturday (19 Feb), Beh Chia Lor – Singapore Road page shared a video of the incident on Facebook.
The video was taken by a passenger on a bus on 18 Feb at around 7pm at the junction of Sengkang East Way and Sengkang East Road.
