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

[Wanderer123]

Based on the video, Looks like the one that flip was going very fast and chiong red light.


Edited. from the latest CCTV up in the flat, the one that flip was not the one that was chiong the red light

Prob drunk...

From the video the Saab driver accelerated after the sideswipe with the Merc. That's where he doesn't slow down at all and end up causing the accident.

if the Merc slowed down and allowed the Saab to overtake, there's no telling the Saab driver won't accelerate and continue to cause the accident.

In short, what happened, happened. Cannot change the fact. Saab 100% liable under eyes of the law, Merc 0%.

What didn't happen, only gives people the chance to imagine endless possibilities. No matter how accurate that would have been, it will never happen.

 

[Geminiboy]

Don't know.what you are saying
The deceased girl.was passenger of SUV

i’m just wondering.

 

[minus7]

Mothership sexposed liao whose that white merc driver is. ANTHONY SOON HAN TIONG better come out nao!

he kena exposed himself when he posted his dashcam to his fb to clear his name but only proved his car was speeding

 

[kingsfall]

They better do something to the white mercs as well… really toxic driving

 

[Geminiboy]

The jc girl and her dad was in the black Honda stream that got first hit and overturned beyond recognition. Her dad still in critical condition.

The other victim is apparently seated in the van pest control

this is really tragic. i hope the driver is charged with manslaughter.

 

[Jirachi]

Merc driver upload his dashcam to mothership. Got show his fb name

He claimed that is not him. He don't have money to buy Mercedes. But of course no one actually will know.

 

[gwbasic]

This is completely bs sia. Especially point 5. Simi lose control? From that overtaking point till the traffic light is a long long long way. There's no sharp turn. The saab was driving like mad before he even approach this overtaking part.

This incident seems like attract a lot of FUD to distract from saab driver's wrongdoing, wonder if there's some motive.

 

[Tiger-in-the-woods]

This is completely wrong. The saab driver was already at 100+ km/h way before he approached this 2 merc. See the backview cam of the merc. The saab guy was probably under the influence.

All i saw was a car speeding to overtake the white car. After banging the car, there are several theories floating around why he didn't stop at the crossing.

So if he didnt bang the car, would he had driven normally?

 

[Tormented Soul]

I think most here only saw the front cam of the merc but didn't bother to see the back cam. The saab was not accelerating to overtake the merc. He was already driving super fast before he reach the mercs. He was swerving left and right overtaking vehicles.

He was never slowing down at the junction. He did not lose control. There's only 2 scenario here.

Either his accelerator stuck or he under drug influence.

Agree.

not being allowed to overtake, it was assumed by many, it triggered the saab to increase his acceleration, which resulted in the accident.
This Logic went over my head as fast as the saab.
Jus to indict a fault along with the saab driver.


Saab is already accelerating at high speed to overtake cars before the merc.
At the merc, before side swipe, he had to reduce the speed and increase to overtake and swipe.
Thereby giving ppl the illusion that saab was provoked into speeding up henceforth.
when the saab actually already sped for who knows how long liao.

So now, we need a cam to see when and how far the saab has been in his reckless speed.

Go see the back cam you would understand. He was not driving normally before he even came to this 2 white Mercedes (glc and c class). In fact no sane man will purposely bang the glc.

Yes i also think the white merc agitated the already crazed saab driver further which the sides swiping triggered saab driver to accelerate even more.. thinking the white merc wanna race..

The dad pass away too

Merc driver come out check his vehicle and drove off in the vid

Does not look like checking his vehicle. He was searching for something.

Taking Public Transport like bus n MRT still the safest

When I first gave up driving , I was traveling by taxis . Until one day, the taxi driver was weaving between lanes . I requested that he drive carefully . His reply " this is not private car" . Huh? Means what? Means that is typical taxi driving? And if take taxi , must be prepared to sit in vehicles driven by reckless drivers .
That made me change my main mode of transport. Take buses and MRT . Now I rarely take taxis and PHV (been more than 10 years)

1) The Mercedes driver observed the black Saab attempting to overtake from the right.
2) Sensing the motorist on the right, the Mercedes accelerated to block the black Saab from overtaking through the narrow gap.
3) Consequently, the white Mercedes maintained speed with the black car, attempting to prevent overtaking and possibly anticipating caution from the Saab to avoid endangering the motorbike. However, this maneuver carried significant risk, aiming to pressure the Saab into yielding.
4) The black Saab rejected the challenge, accelerating aggressively and swerving, ultimately colliding with the white Mercedes, and fiercely accelerated towards the junction after that.
5) This abrupt acceleration, sharp turn, and resulting collision led to the loss of control by the black Saab, culminating in a collision at the junction.
6) The situation continues to unfold.
7) Reflecting on the incident, it's regrettable that the Mercedes driver chose to engage in a tactic that escalated tensions and endangered others on the road. The tragic aftermath underscores the importance of safe driving practices. RIP to those who lost their lives.

That is A LOT of assumptions

 

[Tiger-in-the-woods]

Doesn't matter, your ability to stop when there's a need reflect your driving skills and judgement. Not your ego and ability to floor down on the accelerator.
No doubt Merc driver is no angel, the facts remain that Saab driver is the main cause and he was not able to stop at the junction after side-swiping. He can always choose not to overtake.

At no time did i say the saab driver was not the main cause of the accident. But 'What If' the Merc didn't speed up? Would situation be different? Doubt we will ever know.. we can only conjecture on the 'What If'.

 

[Tormented Soul]

Agree.

not being allowed to overtake, it was assumed by many, it triggered the saab to increase his acceleration, which resulted in the accident.
This Logic went over my head as fast as the saab.
Jus to indict a fault along with the saab driver.


Saab is already accelerating at high speed to overtake cars before the merc.
At the merc, before side swipe, he had to reduce the speed and increase to overtake and swipe.
Thereby giving ppl the illusion that saab was provoked into speeding up henceforth.
when the saab actually already sped for who knows how long liao.

So now, we need a cam to see when and how far the saab has been in his reckless speed.

Yeah it's insane ppl only see one angle and interpret it that way. That crazy interpretation is doing my head in.

Even the c class front cam already prove saab was driving way faster than glc much before he was beside him.

There's only 1 person wrong here and is the crazy person driving the saab. 100% he was not sober. If ppl see those drug dealer chase by police video, this saab driver drives exactly like them.

No one has a right to over take
In those Western countries where it's one lane roads on freeways or mountain roads , see whether you have right to over take anyone you want
