Some events are beyond our control, such as getting into an accident with another motorist, due to plain oversight on his part.

However, if you were to get into an accident on your own like this Mitsubishi driver, then you only have yourself to blame:

What Happened?

A Mitsubishi Lancer EX was travelling on lane 2 along Sengkang East Drive when he veered off course, mounted the kerb and crashed into a lamp post, sending it to the ground.

The driver then alighted from his vehicle to retrieve items from the back seat and boot of his car.

After retrieving his items, the driver hurriedly flees away on foot.

But Wait...

Just when you thought it was over, the Mitsubishi driver does something else.

After fleeing from the scene, the driver decided to "u-turn" and headed back to his car.

He began searching high and low inside his car and the surrounding area while appearing to be looking for a specific item.

Moments later, he ditches his car again and flees from the scene. 

Later in the morning, traffic police could be seen at the accident scene, surveying the surrounding neighbourhood and investigating the accident.

The Possibilities

In all honesty, accidents such as the above could only happen for two possible reasons:

(1) Driving under the influence of alcohol; and/or 

(2) Driving under the influence of drugs.

Moreover, the fact that the driver's first instinct was to retrieve his belongings from his car and flee makes him even more sus.

Brace yourself, we will be hearing this song for a long time.

Seems like I am not the only one who thought so.

No CCTV also got dash cams and members of the public filming you. Sure tio caught within 24 hours (give or take)!

Could be that he was extremely urgent to take a dump and in the haste he lost control in driving. He's searching for the toilet roll or tissue paper, if any.

Drug case

Can the car still be salvaged?

The engine compartment looks pretty banged up tho. And IMO, I don't think the repair cost is worthwhile for a COE car like the Lancer EX

  • 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
