On Tuesday (27 Aug), onlookers were baffled by the sight of a car partially submerged in the Seletar Country Club swimming pool.
A video by the ROAD.sg Facebook page showed a black Kia car plunged into the pool at an angle. Its front half was submerged and its back half was partially raised off the ground.

The driver’s side door was left open but the driver was nowhere to be seen.
Notably, its tail lights were still glowing and the interior lights were left on.
The men filming, presumably onlookers, were seemingly trying to capture video evidence of the accident, shooting from all angles.
“Come, light, light. Give me light!” The man filming said at one point, quickly followed by another person shining a light to allow for a clearer video.

They even peered their camera into the abandoned car.

One of them commented, “How come he can end up here, I wonder?”
Judging by the crash being near the slide and the shape of the pool, the car took its ‘dip’ at the northeast corner of the swimming pool.
As seen on Google Maps, the location is a considerable distance off the road.
