Zombie Vape Scare: Driver Found Stunned with E-Cigarette around Punggol Way

 




A significant public safety incident unfolded on a busy thoroughfare when a driver operating a vehicle was observed in a state of severe impairment, eventually causing the car to come to a halt in a highly dangerous location. This erratic behavior prompted immediate and decisive intervention from members of the public who were concerned that the individual may have been suffering from a medical emergency, though initial suspicions quickly shifted to the potential use of a prohibited substance.

The incident took place on Wednesday, November 5, at approximately 9:00 pm. The location was identified as a section of Punggol Way, situated in close proximity to the Samudera Light Rail Transit (LRT) station.

The sequence of events was first noted by a local resident, Mr. Xu (a transliterated name), a 54-year-old engineer, who was driving home with his son following a gym session. While driving, Mr. Xu noticed the car immediately ahead of his own exhibiting highly unusual behavior. The vehicle was moving at a noticeably slow speed and was repeatedly and inconsistently applying its brakes. Given the bizarre and erratic motion, Mr. Xu initially assumed that the person behind the wheel was experiencing a physical illness or medical distress. His concern for the individual's well-being led him to decide to stop his own car and investigate the situation.

The worrying display of driving culminated when the vehicle being monitored finally stopped completely, positioned precariously in the center of a road junction. This high-risk placement immediately necessitated action. Mr. Xu recounted his motivation for intervening, stating that when the vehicle stopped at the intersection, he and his son strongly suspected the driver might be having a life-threatening event, such as a heart attack, which is why they promptly exited their vehicle to offer aid.

However, as Mr. Xu approached the side of the car, his assessment of the situation changed drastically. Instead of finding a person in visible physical pain, Mr. Xu observed that the driver appeared to be in a state of mental confusion or stupor. Further raising alarm, the driver was observed holding an e-cigarette in his hand. This specific combination of signs—the driver's highly confused state and the presence of the illegal vaping device—led Mr. Xu to quickly suspect that the driver's impairment was caused by the consumption of an illicit substance often referred to colloquially as "zombie vapes."

Mr. Xu attempted to communicate with the driver to assess the situation and provide help, recounting his efforts to gain a response. He detailed that they repeatedly tried to get the driver to open the window and the door. Despite these efforts, the driver's response was minimal and highly alarming. The driver exhibited a dull expression, appeared dazed, and was observed continuing to draw on the e-cigarette while simply staring at the concerned public members gathered outside. The overall presentation suggested that the individual was completely unable to control his own behavior or actions.

The presence of a number of other concerned members of the public who had gathered at the scene confirmed the collective nature of the suspicion. Mr. Xu noted that there was a general consensus among all present that the driver's disoriented and dazed mental state was a direct consequence of consuming the contraband vaping material.

The collective efforts and quick thinking of these vigilant public members were deemed instrumental in preventing a potentially severe traffic incident. Mr. Xu emphasized the shared feeling of relief among the onlookers that their timely intervention had successfully prevented a serious accident. He highlighted the potentially catastrophic consequences, noting that had the driver, while allegedly under the influence of the vaping substance, continued to operate the car at high speed, it would not only have guaranteed a severe vehicle crash but also would have gravely endangered the lives of other road users. Everyone involved was reportedly extremely thankful that no accident or injuries resulted from the highly hazardous situation on Punggol Way.
