Probably don't fit the narrative they already formed in their mind to villanise the merc and sensationalise the news. Funny how in this day and age people will still believe what they see and read without verifying the source so long as it fits their narrative. Translated for the Chinese language-challenged... Quote News SingaporeMercedes owner in Tampines accident: Did not chase the car that caused the accident Zeng Xinji/ Shin Min Daily News Published /8 hours ago The car that caused the accident collided with a white Mercedes (above); it left quickly after the collision, causing another six-car chain collision. (below) The fatal car accident in Tampines caused two deaths and six injuries. The owner of the white Mercedes that was overtaken before the accident was accused of chasing the car that caused the accident on the road. The owner posted a video to protest his innocence, saying that the car was carrying his 79-year-old mother and 13-year-old daughter at the time and was not racing at all. After the accident, many videos from different angles spread online. Two of the videos captured the black car that caused the accident colliding with a white Mercedes. Then some netizens pointed the finger at the owner of the Mercedes, speculating whether the two cars were racing, saying that the owner of the Mercedes was also at fault. According to the video, the car was initially driving on the left lane of Bedok Reservoir Road towards Tampines Avenue 1, and then accelerated to overtake the white Mercedes before switching to the right lane. As there was a motorcycle in the right lane, the car dodged the motorcycle and hit the white Mercedes in the left lane, causing the car to hit the left curb. After the collision, the car did not stop, but continued to drive at high speed. In less than 10 seconds, the car had run a red light and crossed the intersection, causing a chain collision. The New Paper contacted the owner of the white Mercedes, Mr. Yang (50 years old), who described that at the time, his 79-year-old mother was in the front seat of the car and his 13-year-old daughter was in the back seat, so it was impossible for him to do what the netizens said. He said that he had been driving at the same speed, and it was the car that suddenly overtook and hit the right side of his Mercedes, but fortunately no one was hurt. "I was scared when I was hit, and the other car didn't stop, so I chased him to see the other car's license plate, but within a few seconds, the other car had already rushed into the junction ahead." Regarding the post posted in his name on the online forum platform Reddit, he said that he was not good at English and did not post such a post. "The police also asked me if I had any grudges with the driver of the car before the incident. I said that nothing happened with the other party, let alone racing." The "Shin Min Daily News" reported in recent days that the fatal car accident occurred at about 7 am on Monday (April 22) at the junction of Tampines Avenue 1 and Tampines Avenue 4. A black car was said to be driving at high speed and suspected of running a red light, resulting in a six-car pileup, causing two deaths and six injuries. The two female victims were 17-year-old Afifah and 57-year-old Norzihan. For the full report, please refer to the "Shin Min Daily News" on April 24, 2024.

PSP415 Supersonic April 24 Share April 24 (edited) If the idiotic black Saab driver did not hit and run, 2 innocent ppl need not die, 6 others injured, perhaps a couple may end with permanent disabilities or need long term medical treatment. He should just stop there and then. Frankly, I do not see this as a mitigating reason for driving the way he did. That he was running away from his first mistake to create a 2nd worse mistake. Tell the dead that they should be honoured to die at the wheels of one from a "good" family. Dun let me hear that from any decent lawyer's mouth. Yes, any decent human being with such a defense plea ought to remember, the dead and the rest of the living, like me, do NOT CARE whose sperms and egg the idiotic driver came from. Its a shame that a good family actually birthed such an idiot. Or shelter such from facing the music. We should never have to drive with fear at all times, especially when we are law abiding. We must insist that all road users are from good families and expect the laws to be just and fair. Let true justice prevail for all victims. We really dun care who your great grandparents are, your father, mother, brother, sister etc means nothing to any of the dead. Enforcement is key. There needs to have robust upgrades to plug loopholes in car rentals where there has been instances where the hirer is w/o licence or using another person's identity. There needs to be penalties for these blurr idiots whose identity has been used. I question the genuineness of blurr state. The company should take a proactive step to CALL the person or have a camera to view the hirer to check against the IC and driving licence. Too troublesome? Costs will go up? Not their duty? So it's OK for more innocent people to be hurt or killed? The rental company just collect insurance, can make profit OK liao? Is there a record of number of accidents that will render the rental company a suspension and heavy penalty? Otherwise, sure win business model. Ppl die not my problem. Check for what? Not my business. Tmd. Seriously. Buck up with enforcement and tighten loopholes before matters get out of hand. Dun penalise law abiding citizens by going soft on those who blatantly break the laws without remorse.

Etnt Turbocharged April 24 Share April 24 why stop only at targeting the merc? The right lane cam car and the bike are hogging the lane and resulted in the saab undertaking. As usual, hoggers get away scott free; while many just like to ride on their moral high horses behind the keyboard. Fact is, sg drivers are arses on the road; just that we don't usually go around killing people with our cars. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the speed from the video? Anyway the junction where crash occurred is just up ahead, most drivers and riders slow down in anticipation. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
