A case of being at the wrong place at the wrong time and unalert motorists resulted in an unfortunate accident along Old Tampines Road on Friday (Apr 8). A video of the incident was posted on the admin page for SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) on Saturday (Apr 9).
According to the post, three vehicles were involved in the accident, a “daydreaming BMW, impatient Toyota Hi-Ace and unlucky Audi.”
“Was riding down Old Tampines road when I heard a loud crash sound in front of me, and saw the BMW SUV rear-ended the Audi sedan,” the page noted, quoting a witness.
The cam car spotted the BMW up ahead, accelerating too quickly at the green light and failing to stop as it crashed into the Audi.
Soon after, the Audi driver alights the vehicle, presumably to confront the driver behind him.
It was at this moment that the Toyota van driver behind the BMW decided to overtake both cars.
The van crashed into the Audi’s open door, dislodging its side-view mirror and denting the sedan’s door.
The video ended with the van leaving the scene after a short confrontation between the three drivers.
Members from the online community took turns pinpointing who was at fault, such as the BMW not being alert on the road, despite the green light up ahead.
The Audi driver should have been more careful before swinging the door wide open.
Lastly, the van driver overtook from the opposite direction on a one-lane road, thus putting risk on other road users.
“Ever heard of ‘double-whammy’? Really not his day,” said a netizen, commiserating with the Audi driver. /TISG
