Have you ever watched a car accident video and told yourself in your head that “heng ah, it wasn’t me or someone I know”?

I guess it’s human nature. The truth of the matter is – Even if you’re the safest driver in the world, all it takes is just one idiot driver to mess it up for you. So what happens if it happens to you or someone within your social circle? Read on to find out.

Sometime in the evening yesterday, 28th November 2019, I received a message from one of my closest friends. It was an image of his heavily damaged Honda Freed.

That’s how heavily damaged it was.

The cause?

This Lorry.

It was a pretty bone-chilling sight, but the fact that he was messaging me meant that he was fine, so that was a relief.

Eventually, he sent over the video footage of the accident. The video includes both the rear and dashcam footage.

In the video, my friend, the Freed Driver, let’s call him Jeff, for privacy sake, is filtering into an expressway. A lorry follows suit, loses control and charges straight into the back of the Freed, shattering the glass on the rear windscreen. Also, that's a damn loud bang. 

In the car

There’s no in-car footage, but you can hear a brief exchange of conversations between three people in the car – Jeff and his two passengers.

Jeff and the other guy were worried about whether anyone was injured, but the lady, presumably in shock, could only think of one thing.

She was carrying Thanksgiving potluck food with her when the crash happened, and you can hear her go “Oh no! The gravy casserole’s everywhere!”

Whut?

This is what Casserole looks like.

Anyhoo, I’m glad all parties are fine.

RIP Casserole. You perished so that others could live. The best Thanksgiving dish yet.

The loss of the casserole deeply moves me. RIP my friend, you will be missed... by many bellies.

Based on the video clip. The Honda freed stop after filtering into expressway. The lorry could not stop in time.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
