Netizens amazed by sight of moving car in Woodlands with only three working wheels
A rather unusual sight greeted motorists along Woodlands Avenue 6 when a car was spotted driving on the road with only three functioning wheels.
A clip shared by the Instagram page @sgfollowsall on Sunday (2 Nov) shows the silver Honda Stream trundling down the road with its right front rim scraping the tarmac as it goes.
According to the post, the incident happened earlier that day, with the caption saying: “Happened today along Woodlands Ave 6. Driver was driving with only 3 wheels.”

In the short clip, seemingly taken by a passenger in another car, the silver car could be seen moving along the leftmost lane of the road.
The car’s right front wheel appeared to be punctured, with the rim in direct contact with the surface of the road.
There also seemed to be a huge dent on the right side of the car’s boot and some indentation on the rear of the car.
