On Wednesday (21 Oct), a Nissan van driver crashed into the traffic light at the junction between Jalan Besar and Kitchener Road.
The accident occurred at around 10.10pm, with patrons still dining and shopping around the district.
A passer-by, who happened to be in the area, managed to snap photos of the accident site.
In a post on SGRV FRONT MAN on Thursday (22 Oct), the Original Poster (OP) shared two pictures of the accident scene.
The picture showed a Nissan van that had crashed into a traffic light. The impact was so powerful that it severely damaged the front of the van and knocked down the traffic light.
On top of that, the road was also partially cracked due to the accident.
