Now that is one close shave. As seen on SG Road Vigilante's facebook page, an Audi TT failed to stop at the give way line, nearly crashing into a Mitsubishi Lancer Ex which had the right of way on 29th of April Eagle-eyed readers would have definitely spotted the P-plate sign on the Audi, signaling to us that this might just be a rookie's honest mistake. In our opinion, we thought the camera car would have gotten a larger shock, seeing the Lancer swerve into his lane along Sengkang West Road. On another note, should the Lancer have slowed down instead of (recklessly)accelerating into the camera car's lane? Let us know in the comments below! 94921823_310296959954310_3878032568351719424_n.mp4

Hope this wont happen in Singapore My baby died after ambulance driver got lost TWICE, took three times as long to arrive and went the wrong way to the hospital A baby died after an ambulance driver on her first shift struggled to find the child’s home – and then took a wrong turning on the way back to hospital. Amy Carter called 999 after her three-month-old daughter Bella suffered a fit and stopped breathing. But the ambulance took nearly half an hour to reach them because the driver – who was relying on a satnav – got lost. Fearing the same thing could happen on the way to hospital, the frantic mother yelled directions from the back of the ambulance, but the driver went round a roundabout twice before taking a wrong turn. When three-month-old Bella Carter suffered a fit and stopped breathing, her mother Amy frantically dialled 999. But the ambulance crew failed to arrive for 26 minutes and she was dead upon arriving at hospital By the time they arrived at hospital, Bella had not been breathing for nearly an hour and was pronounced dead. Last night, Miss Carter, 24, of Thetford, Norfolk, said: ‘If they had got to her in time she would be alive today.’ More...Father-of-three died after doctors mistook aneurysm for heartburn and sent him home with Gaviscon Two in three new mums feel 'let down' by the NHS: Shortage of midwives means some women get more postnatal visits than others She said that when she called the ambulance, she gave clear instructions that they lived in a new house, in case that led to problems finding it. The ambulance took 26 minutes to arrive – more than three times the target response time. On their way to the West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds, Miss Carter gave directions from the back of the ambulance. The ambulance driver attending to Bella - on her first-ever shift as a paramedic - then took a wrong turning on the way to West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds She said: ‘They had a satnav, but it was taking them the long way round. Anyone who knows the area would know to go on the bypass. ‘I was shouting directions, but it was like I wasn’t even there.’ The grieving mother said when she had called the ambulance on two previous occasions, unrelated to Bella’s fit, paramedics arrived in minutes. Miss Carter, who lives with her lorry driver partner Scott Hellings, 24, said: ‘The people who were meant to help failed Bella. I live on a new development, but I gave the operator clear instructions. By the time the ambulance arrived at West Suffolk Hospital, Bury St Edmunds, Bella had stopped breathing for nearly an hour and there was nothing doctors could do to save her ‘It is not hard to find and they had managed it twice before.’ She said she had told them all the doors to the house were open so she could remain upstairs with her sick child when they arrived. Bella's mother Amy Carter is devastated by the loss of her daughter ‘But the paramedics just kept ringing and ringing on the bell,’ she said. ‘I didn’t want to leave Bella, but I had to abandon her and run down and back up two flights of stairs to let them in.’ Miss Carter claims the crew then made jokes instead of devoting all their attention to her daughter. She said: ‘They just talked about what they did at the weekend and complained about their knees and being old when they knelt down on the floor. I don’t think they knew how to deal with me.’ Miss Carter, who has a son aged four, said her daughter’s death has left her so distressed that she is unable to see other babies. ‘I would not wish this pain on my worst enemy,’ she said. ‘Two of my family members have just had babies and I have not been able to go and see them.’ Ambulance bosses have met the family and admitted failings in the tragedy, which happened on March 11. Local Tory MP Elizabeth Truss said: ‘For the ambulance to take so long to arrive is of serious concern.’ The East of England Ambulance Service Trust last night declined to comment. An inquest has been opened and adjourned.
