A van allegedly ran a red light before crashing into the side of a lorry at a busy road junction near Rivervale Plaza, leaving its front badly crushed and prompting police to direct traffic.
The collision occurred on Tuesday (6 Jan) at about 10.08am at the junction of Punggol Road and Rivervale Drive.
Dashcam footage of the incident shared on the SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) Facebook page shows the van entering the junction against the traffic lights.
At the same time, a red lorry on the opposite side of the road was making a right turn.

Subsequently, pedestrians walked across a crossing beside the accident site.
While most simply walked by the scene, one passer-by approached the van, presumably to check on the driver.
