Police in Singapore are currently searching for a driver involved in a hit-and-run incident that occurred near the Woodlands Checkpoint on the night of April 26.
Authorities were alerted to the accident at approximately 10:50 pm. The crash involved two cars and a motorcycle along the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE) before Woodlands Crossing.
Sequence of the Collision
Dashcam footage shared on the Facebook page SG Road Vigilante depicts a black car colliding with a white car in the first lane of the expressway. Both vehicles initially came to a stop.
As the driver of the white car exited their vehicle, the black car, which had been at the rear, reversed and turned into the second lane.
During this maneuver, the black car struck a motorcyclist, narrowly missing two other riders. The impact sent the motorcyclist tumbling across two lanes of the expressway before the black car drove away from the scene.
Victim Status and Police Action
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) responded to the scene and transported a 32-year-old male motorcyclist to Woodlands Hospital. The victim was reported to be conscious when he was taken to the hospital.
Police investigations are currently ongoing. Efforts are underway to locate the driver of the black car, who left the scene before authorities arrived.
Potential Next Steps
Given the availability of dashcam footage, investigators may use the video to identify the vehicle’s license plate and track the driver’s movements. This evidence could be instrumental in locating the suspect.
A possible next step involves the police reviewing further surveillance footage from the BKE and Woodlands Checkpoint area to determine the direction of the fleeing vehicle.
