CCTV Captures Dramatic Car Crash at Jalan Kayu Eatery

 




A 55-year-old man was taken to the hospital following a road accident outside an eatery on Jalan Kayu on March 29. The incident occurred at around 8:55 AM and involved two cars. The Singapore Police Force (SPF) and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) were alerted at the same time.

SCDF paramedics responded to the scene at 246 Jalan Kayu and transported the injured man to Sengkang General Hospital. According to the police, he was conscious when taken to the hospital. A 52-year-old man, who was driving one of the cars involved, sustained minor injuries but declined medical assistance. He is currently assisting the police with their investigations.

Videos of the accident circulating online captured the moment of impact. In the footage, diners at a nearby eatery are seen seated when a black car suddenly crashes into a lamp-post. The collision causes the lamp-post to fall onto the road, partially obstructing Jalan Kayu.

Further clips show a man lying on the ground with another individual attending to him. Nearby, a dislodged car tyre is visible, indicating the force of the crash. Witnesses at the scene were seen reacting to the accident, with some rushing forward to assist.

Authorities have not disclosed further details about the cause of the accident, and SPF has stated that investigations are ongoing.

Jalan Kayu, a well-known stretch with eateries and shops, is often bustling with activity, particularly during meal times. The accident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety, especially in areas where pedestrians and vehicles share close proximity.

Traffic incidents in Singapore are not uncommon, and authorities regularly urge motorists to drive responsibly. Drivers are reminded to remain vigilant, adhere to speed limits, and be mindful of pedestrians and roadside structures.

SPF has not confirmed if any traffic violations were committed or if the incident was due to driver error or vehicle malfunction. More details may be released upon the completion of investigations.

Motorists passing through Jalan Kayu were temporarily affected due to the fallen lamp-post obstructing part of the road. Authorities worked to clear the debris and restore normal traffic flow.

While the man taken to the hospital was in stable condition, the full extent of his injuries remains unclear. SCDF’s prompt response ensured that he received immediate medical attention.

This incident highlights the unpredictable nature of road accidents and underscores the need for both drivers and pedestrians to exercise caution at all times. With increased urban activity, especially in areas with high foot traffic, accidents can have serious consequences.

Authorities continue to monitor and improve road safety measures to prevent such incidents. Motorists are advised to stay alert, particularly in areas with heavy pedestrian movement, and ensure that their vehicles are well-maintained to prevent mechanical failures.

As investigations proceed, it remains to be seen whether further actions, such as charges or penalties, will be taken against the driver involved.
