[CONSOLIDATED] Accident in Tampines: Multiple-vehicle collision at road junction, with 8 individuals sent to hospitals

[VEF888]

actually, the Merc is speeding. It's quite obvious.

Yeah, when I first watched the video, I initially thought the two cars were racing, but it's clear now that it wasn't as evident to everyone bah.

for all the people blaming the merc, why you never blame the motorbike instead?

motorbike is on the right lane and still drive so slowly and preventing the SAAB from overtaking. kns if motorbike not there drive so slowly lane hogging then the SAAB won't even need to attempt a reckless overtake, which means he wouldn't have damaged the merc, which means he wouldn't have tried to hit and run and speed off, which means he wouldn't have plowed through the junction and wouldn't have killed multiple people

Don’t think got any caning right? Sit few months plus ban from driving few year ?

出来又是一条好汉

 

[Dracky]

The speeding driver that caused the accident should be hanged.

Actually I don’t think the Mercedes is speeding in the sense that he was being reckless. But if you mean speeding like going beyond the speed limit then probably.

The merc also die die dont want to let him pass. Now accident and 2 person dead. Will merc driver rethink and let him pass ? Maybe this crazy driver might be able to stop without all these anger to trying to overtake him.

 

[VEF888]

I already say nothing wrong if he doesn't want to let the Saab cut into his lane

U can stop repeating this same sh!t to me

you the merc driver ? sleep well bah if that's the case.

yes, speeding as in faster that what Pakcik would ride his bike in such an area (not sure what the limit is there) , think usually it's 40-60. He's probably going at 80 - can see the buildings/background flying past a little too quickly.

But still cannot blame the merc because although speed up but not breakneck kind of speed which it is capable of.. at most, block the saab a bit..

Which I said it is equivalent to not speeding up. There was no hard accelerating. Sometimes is just minor adjustments to the speed.

Anyway, not saying this in an angry manner. But a lot of others commenting here failed to see the point.

Sg roads is in a mess. Cyclists, cars, motorised bikes...
How many more deaths before garmen enforce all the rules.

 

[Uramasa]

speeding + beating red lights + killing two person

1 more still in ICU

 

[crazythen]

If you blame the Merc, then the motorbike would also be implicated. Nonsense, right? That’s how it is when you accuse the Merc…

if you overtake like that means the testosterone hormone has overtaken your common sense. After successfully overtaking, your inner alpha self would show up and bolstered by the testosterone would floor the accelerator.

RIP to the 2 innocent souls.

While you’re at it, why not blame the traffic lights ?

 

[LetHerGo]

Saab successfully overtake too many cars until he thot he is invincible?

 

[DRbeebeebeejay]

Appalling that people are blaming the Mercedes. The Mercedes’ dickhead move had nothing to do with the accident.
It’s like blaming the rest of us for existing otherwise there will be nothing in the way of the speeding Saab and hence no accident.

Its expensive to enforce the law.

Who going to pay for it?


App Time!!!

Mercedes did speed up, it was moving moving at normal speed, 3 seconds at start of first video between lamp post.. Then in second video 1+ second and a lot faster just before he got side swept. But still cannot blame the merc because although speed up but not breakneck kind of speed which it is capable of.. at most, block the saab a bit..

IMO.. The Saab got consumed by his ego when his "Hand Gun" driving side swept the merc then floor the accelerator without considering he's already approaching a junction.. Some people can lost control of themselves and go on a meltdown when their ego got hit.

But.. He could also start to narrate his story by saying something flew into his eye, or if he already got some underlying medical condition claim he have blacked out momentarily. But whatever the case.. The one causing the accident can sleep well



Yes. Merc did speed up, One other method is to time merc travel between lamp post. the merc speed up considerably more just before it got side swept.

yeah pretty obvious the white merc driver sped up when the black car came.

Below is speculation from car group people.
merc and black saab driver might have altercation before hand and the saab driver chase the merc driver.

Merc driver's timing of accelerating to prevent the saab driver from overtaking means merc driver got monitor the oncoming saab driver to play with him.

As for why the saab driver chiong the red light. Got one theory is the carpet in the car might had jammed the accelerator. Another is the driver after side swipe kanjiong step wrong peddle.

 

[botakchek]

The getgo driver got die or not?

 

[ahnyaahnya]

PHV driverss are the scum of the roads. Always rushing, always think they are the king of the roads. I usually drive but on some rare occasions when I do take grab, the driver drives like a cock, speed here then zham brake there the suddenly swerve. I not rushing but the fella machiam rushing to hell.

Time is

 

[Joseph12]

Something wrong with black car driver. Either suicidal or rushing for some emergency or mental issues.

true
machiam fleeing for life or from some other crime

We shall see
Some idiots don't even have driving license and driving like mad

speed limits could be the reason. bike may already be at the cusp of the speed limit and is intending to turn right at the traffic light. Nothing wrong with that. There's also a big difference between riding slowly (and lane hogging) and driving recklessly and speeding.
