Passersby form human wall to protect two men injured in car crash from oncoming traffic

Two men were crossing the street in front of Tanjong Pagar Community Club on Thursday night (Mar 24) when a car crashed into them.

Following the accident, about 10 passersby immediately ran into the middle of the road to protect the two men, aged 21 and 22, reported Chinese-language newspaper Shin Min Daily News on Friday (Mar 25).

One of the men reportedly crashed into the vehicle’s windshield while the other victim lay motionless on the ground.

The passersby stood in the middle of the road, forming a “human wall” to warn oncoming vehicles of the accident, which occupied two of the three lanes.

A witness told Shin Min Daily News that the man who hit the windshield was bleeding from the head.

The vehicle’s windshield was cracked and sunken, indicating the strong impact of the collision.

Staff from the Tanjong Pagar CC vaccination centre also rushed to the scene to administer first aid to the men while waiting for the authorities.

Meanwhile, the mother and son who were inside the vehicle assisted the police with investigations. They declined media interviews.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the road accident along Cantonment Road at 8:55 pm on Mar 24.
