The following accident is a strange one.

Watch it here:

What Happened?

The above video was captured by the cam car's dashcam while approaching a red light signal at West Coast Road.

A BMW 740 drove past the cam car while straddling between lanes 1 and 2 before running the red light at an unusually slow speed.

The BMW crosses the junction while travelling at a bearing towards the centre divider.

Moments later, the BMW mounts the centre divider and takes out an entire traffic light, tilting it at a 45-degree angle. 

At this point, I am starting to wonder about the structural robustness of the BMW sedan after it almost uprooted an entire traffic light.

The Possibilities

Some netizens were speculating that the driver was either driving under the influence of alcohol/substance or driving while distracted (driving while using a mobile phone).

However, judging from the strange way the car was being driven, there is a likelihood that the BMW driver was experiencing a medical emergency which caused the accident. 

Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Here's wishing the BMW driver a speedy recovery from the accident!

The Aftermath

Below are some snippets of the accident scene:

The impact from the collision deployed the airbags of the BMW.

From the video, it seems like the cam car driver pulled up along the side of the road to check on the BMW driver tho.

The Mercedes driver should be thanking his lucky stars for not sustaining collateral damage.

  • 10 terrible wedding songs

    A song can have a catchy title and/or chorus, but its true meaning is only found within its lyrics. If you're planning your wedding, any song about breakups, cheating/infidelity, and being the other woman has no business being part of the reception playlist. Most people, however, take the song title to be its meaning and don't consider its actual content. Here are 10 songs that sound romantic but should be avoided. 10) Irreplaceable – Beyoncé Don't mistake this for being

    More aliens on Earth?

    "Scientists Just Discovered a Creature That Breaks the Rules of Life". I mean, that's quite the headline.  Sukunaarchaeum mirabile is also quite the name to pronounce. But yes, that's the name of a recently discovered organism that apparently challenges the traditional scientific definition of 'life'.  There's a fair bit of scientific jargon to sieve through, but the quick summary is this: Cells are considered "alive" because of their ability to self-replicate and reproduce, whereas vi

    Singapore’s ultimate NDP song?

    As my JC classmates suddenly made plans this year to have an NDP watch-party (this is likely our first in the 12 years we’ve known each other), I found myself falling into a state of nostalgia again: This time, thinking about how NDP songs have evolved over the years. It’s not a stretch to say that each NDP song - from the inception of the idea of an NDP song back in 1984 - has woven itself somewhat into the fabric of our collective memories. Whether you were singing along loudly in primary
