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

[Uramasa]

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.

The Public and EDMW-ers think otherwise, if it was a white Toyota (instead a GLC43) likely it will have a different outcome.

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

it is the traffic light fault

it should stay green until Saab cross it. Class action against LTA

SINGAPORE: Two people died after an accident involving several vehicles at the junction of Tampines Avenue 1 and Tampines Avenue 4 on Monday (Apr 22).

They are a 17-year-old girl who was a car passenger and a 57-year-old woman who was a passenger in a van, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in response to CNA queries.

The two were taken to hospital in an unconscious state where they subsequently died.

A 42-year-old car driver is assisting with police investigations. He was among six other people taken to hospital following the accident, which involved four cars, a van and a minibus.

Online footage of the accident's aftermath shows at least six damaged vehicles at a busy junction with debris strewn between them. One of the vehicles is upside down.

The other people taken to hospital were: Two male car drivers in their forties, a 64-year-old male van driver, an 11-year-old male car passenger and an 11-year-old male minibus passenger.

"A 42-year-old female car driver and a 39-year-old male van passenger later sought medical attention at the hospital on their own," SPF said.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Earlier, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told CNA that it was alerted to the accident at 7.07am on Monday.

"Upon SCDF's arrival, a person was lying on the road with one leg trapped under the wheel of a car," they said, adding that hydraulic rescue equipment was used to free the person's leg.

Nothing much LTA or TP can do la, only can closely monitoring, cars dont give way or act with 200k coe impunity, reckless driving, how can catch?

thumbs up to SCDF.

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.

It’s complicated.

Now we know all this, if tomorrow or tonight you go out and drive and someone signals to cut queue or overtake, knowing that refusal might lead to a 1% chance of a fatal accident, will you now give way to EVERYONE who signals?

It’s easy to say Merc driver please rethink. It’s harder when the question now is posed to us if we will rethink.

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.

Regardless. If the merz floored the brakes for an abrupt stop to give way to marching ants, you must have a safe distance to stop and not bang him from behind.

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

yah. obviously it's the traffic lights fault. also the fault of all the other cars driving there. if all these cars and traffic lights weren't there then the SAAB wouldn't have gotten into an accident despite driving recklessly like they are on drugs

thumbs up to SCDF.

accidents like this happen all over the world daily.

problem with our government , it is the punishment problem.

why dont raise the punishment for these ? same as cheaters and scammers? or white collar crime ?

how can they not do anything? clearly there isn't enough deterrence right ?

The GLC ain't angel either.

I'm pretty sure the GLC made deliberate attempt to trigger the black SaaB by speeding up at certain point of the 2 min video.

you might as well as say the pedestrians and cars, vans caused the accident?? what load of crap.

 

[VEF888]

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.

2 lane road, with lane on right for going straight and turning, speed limit @50km/hr, what to do with the motorcycle?

 

[eclipsemints]

Rubbish lah. real drivers just ignore and move on. Where got so much time. You want to wind down your window to 理论issit? Pp will think you are mad. At most horn a bit to express annoyance a bit. These 纸上谈兵 drivers really one kind.

People ignore doesn't mean they condoning the act. Your previous posts are explicitly defending the merc's egoistic driving while saying real drivers are ok with it.

 

[dmxguy]

fast n furious. Inconsiderate driver again. Want to speed recklessly, then cause innocent lives.

 

[steven jialat]

Why the guy ownself nv die knn

 

[crazythen]

Agree. Nonsense, right?

 

[batdow]

The idiot humji kiss the white merc a abit scared until chiong red light.

 

[vespaguy]

Time is

and at the expense of the safety and life of others.

 

[Ghost_is_here]

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.

Car group or no car group.... Life has been lost. The driver should be condemned to hell.

As long as they can pay the certificate of ENTITLEMENT

 

[No_10_Tomas]

why no death penalty for fast car speedsters????

 

[Foetid]

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.

exactly, got traffic light in front of cos is prepare to kosong gear, coast to stop.
