A police car crashed into some railing, damaged a bus stop, and flipped onto the fences of two houses on Monday.
As reported by Shin Min Daily, the accident happened at about 5pm at Frankel Avenue in the Siglap area. It was drizzling, and the driver lost control as he was cruising towards Changi road.
The supports on one side of the bus stop were knocked out, as was one of the bus stop seats. Parts of the railing ended up in the ditch.
The hood of the police car was totally smashed on the pavement, while the boot was balanced on the fence of one of the houses behind the bus stop. Part of the low wall surrounding the neighbouring house was also destroyed.
Shattered glass from the windscreen and some parts of the car were scattered on the pavement as well. Fortunately no passerbys were injured.
The driver, a policeman from Bedok Police Post, suffered mild injuries to his head and arm. He was not patrolling when the accident happened.
From the extent of the damage it appears that the car was travelling at high speed when it skidded.
Police are investigating the incident and urge any eye witnesses to call 1800-5471818 to contact the investigating personnel.
