Another high-performance car has been spotted in a crash while going at a good speed.

Our latest post shows a Black Renault Megane RS going at a decent speed before losing control while stepping on his brakes. 

From the video, we can see that the driver was trying to avoid the road works in his lane but curiously, the car seems to have malfunctioned while he was on his brakes. If you looked at the video carefully, you could see straight black lines on the road, indicating that the tyres locked up before he slammed into the left side of the viaduct before bouncing across into the opposite barrier.

While it did seem like the Megane was at or slightly above the speed limit, the crash is quite a mystery to us as under normal circumstances, there is more than sufficient space to stop or avoid the roadworks.

What do you guys think? Could it be a brake failure, tyre puncture or a case of the driver falling asleep at the wheel? Let us know in the comments below!

Because it's a French car 😄

Could be due to tyre condition, oversteer, or condition of road, eg. oil on road.

Speed isn't that fast. Seem like just normal avoidance. Dunno how come so jialat lol. Even a attrage would have been able to handle that without issue?

I think something big impacted the windscreen. It's on the passenger side. The driver must have been startled and lost control...and crashed. I also noticed it's drizzling. The road is actually wet.

Time to bring a case to Renault. For all we know, it could be a car malfunction..

The Megane RS does not appear to be driving super fast and neither does avoiding the road works require it to make sharp turns.

For a sports car to be unable to handle this, it's really unexpected. Worn out tyres could be a potential culprit.

At least driver immediately put on hazard lights so further chance of rear collision

  • 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
