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

[saint_sg]

as usual, male drivers again always driving recklessly and killing people

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.

The bike is a npc Didn't change speed when saab came into the pic. Merc added a human element

Base on the video where the white merc provide, the black Saab didn't slow down when approaching to the junction but continue to speed

 

[Cleaver]

Can’t find black driver name ?

 

[No_10_Tomas]

karma on sg roads....expected...from the behaviours of sg drivers

 

[Jian19]

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

That's all u have ah ?

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.

Sometimes if the merc slow down and let go of the accelerator slow down abit, without the ego and let the crazy driver pass, 2 person would still be able to live to see another day.

Singaporean driver driving car is cannot lose one. Lose already malu. Later friends laugh at u

Should be withheld due to under police investigation

 

[sango65]

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

go and read your highway code again - so right lane must always at high speed? not cap at speed limit?

2 lane road, not expressway

unless the saab driver is tired of living, he might have lost control of the car

 

[Mountainnodew]

maybe heart attack

Probably he closed his eyes and let go of the steering wheel. The police didn’t said he was arrested but only assisting.

Csi black car driver name pls, confirm high or on drugs

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.

Maybe we should give way more often? The education fail us. Driving school and test…

Seems like too many butt hurt conti owners trying to protect the merc actions …. From Birds Eye rear view the merc clearly sped up and closed up e gap to prevent the Saab from passing …. This kind of behavior is like F1 Schumacher don’t wanna let david coulthard to pass

 

[No_10_Tomas]

anyway, very poor and lousy driving skills still want to speed

i advise all drivers to drive slowly at 20km/h hahahahahaha

sg drivers skills are as poor as their footballers.....

I read somewhere

Women drivers- the accidents caused by them make you slap your forehead and ask why so dumb? Example is dinging cars while parallel parking or drive into pavement cos of cockroach. Usually minor injuries but a lot of bruised egos

Men drivers- accidents are usually caused by speeding and injuries and deaths happen.

no lah, the older the I get the more I adhered to the principle safety first, just get from point a to b without any accident.

Even if you have the right of way, driving cautiously, but if someone dies in an accident where you're involved, and it's 100% not your fault, would you still feel remorseful? most decent people would.

 

[topiari]

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.

For the record, motorbike didn’t intend to turn right. It stopped together with the white Merc. The intention was to go straight

Poor girl. How is the family coping? How are the mother and siblings handling this?
