SINGAPORE – The police are searching for a man who fled on foot after the car he had been driving in collided with four other vehicles in Telok Blangah on the morning of Nov 4.

The police said their officers had been patrolling on Telok Blangah Drive at about 8.30am when they saw a car that had mounted a kerb.

The driver drove off suddenly when the police officers checked on the motorist.

A police pursuit then followed, during which the car collided with two other cars, a van and a bus. He then fled on foot along Telok Blangah Hill.

An e-vaporiser was found in the car, and the related offence will be referred to the Health Sciences Authority, the police said, adding that investigations are ongoing.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to a traffic accident near the junction of Telok Blangah Drive and Telok Blangah Street 32 at about 8.35am.

A 48-year-old male motorist was conscious when taken to the Singapore General Hospital, the authorities said.

In a media reply, SBS Transit spokesperson Grace Wu said the bus, which had been plying the Service 131 route, was travelling straight on the extreme left lane of Henderson Road when it was rear-ended by a car.

Passengers onboard were transferred to another bus to continue their journey, she added.

In a video uploaded on Singapore Road Vigilante’s Facebook page, a police car is stopped behind a public bus at a traffic junction, with one officer rushing out and disappearing behind the bus, while another going to the front entrance of the bus.

From behind the bus, the police officer and a red car then appears, with the officer moving out of the way as the car mounts the kerb, goes into the opposite lane and drives off after turning right.

The logo of car rental company Drive Lah can be seen at the side of the car.
