Speeding car hits van & overturns along TPE, teen arrested for drink-driving

Speeding car overturns on TPE, 19-year-old arrested for drink-driving

On Sunday (30 June), a speeding car crashed and overturned in a dramatic fashion along the Tampines Expressway (TPE) after smashing into a van.

The SG Road Vigilante – SGRV Facebook page posted a video of the incident, which reportedly happened at 5.15am.

According to The Strait Times, a 19-year-old male driver has been arrested for drink-driving following the incident.

Speeding car tries to overtake, instead overturns on TPE

Multiple clips of the crash, which took place along TPE towards Changi Airport before the Elias Road exit, show a white car, purportedly a Volkswagen Golf, speeding along the middle lane of the TPE.

The car then abruptly moves to the leftmost lane. Seemingly unaware of the vehicle in front of him, the speeding Volkswagen hits the rear of a black van.

The high-speed collision sends the van spinning and colliding with the road safety divider. At the same time, sparks can be seen flying as the Volkswagen overturns.

Images of the aftermath show the Volkswagen Golf overturned in the middle of the highway.
