Unfortunately, the driver of the car drove off after the incident.

On Tuesday (13 June), the couple took to Facebook to seek witnesses who may have video evidence of the accident or can remember the car’s licence plate number.

Couple’s van gets hit by car in traffic accident on 1 June

According to Ms Hashira’s post, they were driving along Ophir Road towards the ECP before Raffles Boulevard when they felt three impacts on their van.

The third hit caused her husband to lose control of his van and swerve into a steel barricade, which stopped it completely.

In images the couple posted on their shared account, the van suffered extensive damage to its back as well as front, with at least one tyre unhinged.

The couple then exited the van and approached the car.

But instead of staying, the car driver allegedly drove off “as if nothing happened”, while looking back at the couple.

This was despite the car also suffering damage following the accident.

 

The couple said they did not take down the car’s licence plate number as their mind went blank due to the accident and due to how the car abruptly drove off.

All they can remember about the car is that it was big and white.

Thankfully, after the incident, the couple told MS News that the drivers of two or three vehicles stopped to check on them and direct traffic away from the scene. They also helped to call the police and ambulance.

The couple filed a police report the following day, on 2 June.

Appeals for witnesses

In a reply to a comment, Ms Hashira and her husband noted that they were both okay.

She had gone to the hospital for an X-ray and was only found to have a swollen shin. Mr Hidayat, meanwhile, experienced pain in his back, she shared with MS News.

The couple is now looking for anyone who may have a video of the incident or managed to get the car’s licence plate number.

Anyone with information can contact the couple on Facebook here.

According to them, the accident took place along the following stretch.

Hopefully, someone witnessed the accident and comes forward with evidence. The couple will certainly be grateful for all the help they can get.
