A traffic mishap occurred at the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park carpark on June 8, resulting in injuries to two seniors. An 89-year-old driver along with his 90-year-old passenger were involved in a collision that saw their car hit three others.
Footage shared online reveals the extent of the disarray, showing four vehicles in various states of damage. Two of the cars came to rest on a grass slope following the crash, emphasizing the severity of the mishap.
The source of the chaos appears to be a brake failure in one car, causing it to veer wildly out of control. While initial conjecture on social media suggested the other vehicles were parked at the time of the accident, the exact circumstances remain unclear.
Authorities, including the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Civil Defence Force, confirmed they received alerts about the road traffic accident, which took place near the crossroads of Bishan Road and Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 around 7:45 AM.
Both the driver and his passenger were promptly attended to and transported to the hospital for treatment. Currently, the driver is contributing to the ongoing investigation into the exact cause of the incident.
The scene of tangled cars, captured on video by a passerby, swiftly circulated across social media platforms, drawing public attention to the safety of elderly drivers on the road.
