One driver hospitalised
Police told MS News that they were alerted to the accident at about 9.50pm on 17 Sept.
A 55-year-old male driver was taken to the hospital conscious, while a 34-year-old male driver is assisting with investigations.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), which was alerted at the same time as the SPF, told MS News that it conveyed an injured person to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Another was assessed for minor injuries but declined to be sent to the hospital.
Netizens unsympathetic to Maserati driver
Online reaction was swift and unsparing. Many netizens expressed little sympathy for the Maserati driver, with some calling for harsh punishment.

Others noted the crash was eerily similar to the infamous 2012 Ferrari accident on Victoria Street, which also involved a driver speeding through a red light.
