Cyclist run over twice by car in Hougang, miraculously walks away, Singapore News
Miraculously, the rider was able to stand and walk away from the scene.
Horrifying footage posted by Facebook page SG Road Vigilante shows the car, which was turning left at the junction, mounting the pedestrian crossing, ramming and running over the cyclist who had stopped there.
The impact pushes the man forward onto the road and the car wheels roll over him a second time.
The cyclist is seen stumbling and slowly standing up to pick up an item near his damaged PAB. A passer-by then approaches and gestures for him to sit at the crossing.
Several cars can be seen driving past the scene while the car, which had crashed into the road divider, remains lodged against the traffic light.
It then reverses, revealing a visibly damaged front bumper, before driving off.
A street name sign was also dislodged in the accident.
The police told AsiaOne that they were alerted to a hit-and-run accident involving a car and a PAB at the junction of Hougang Avenue 3 and Upper Serangoon Road at about 6.40pm on Sunday.
The 23-year-old male cyclist was conscious when conveyed to hospital.
The 70-year-old male driver of the car is assisting with ongoing police investigations.

Arcade operator suspends SG60 carnival game after copyright infringement notice, apologises for 'lapse'
SINGAPORE: An arcade operator apologised on Tuesday (Jul 29) to a games publisher over a "lapse in due diligence" and suspended its carnival game marking Singapore's 60th year of independence, following a copyright infringement notice. In a Facebook post on Monday, Origame accused The Arcade People of "ripping off" artwork from its games. Citing how it had come across a carnival game at City Square Mall, the company alleged artwork from its Kopi King game was "lifted wholesale" by the operator. The homegrown firm, which is known for its Singapore-themed card and tabletop games, claimed that the artwork appeared in an SG60-themed carnival game called Kopitiam Hero. According to pictures posted by Origame on Facebook, Kopitiam Hero uses the same "Sejak 1965!" tagline. It also alleged another piece of artwork was copied for a separate carnival game by The Arcade People and said the experience had left a "bitter aftertaste". In a statement on Facebook, The Arcade People apologised to Origame. It acknowledged the designs for two of its carnival games included artwork taken directly from Origame's games Kopi King and Chope!, and that the design of Kopitiam Hero "closely imitates" the font, style and colour of Kopi King's logo. "These elements were wrongly used without permission and were taken from Origame's website," it said. "This was not just an oversight - it was a lapse in due diligence on our part." The Arcade People added it would take "full and unequivocal responsibility" and that the imitation of design elements had stemmed from not having "proper checks and approvals" in place. Responding to CNA's queries, The Arcade People said it had immediately suspended the game from all rentals and public use until the artwork is replaced. It added it would permanently remove and destroy all materials and props associated with the infringing games, and take "additional steps" by internally reviewing all existing and future artwork usage to prevent such issues from happening again. Origame co-founder and producer Nicholas Pang confirmed with CNA his company had sent a notice of copyright infringement on Monday and noted The Arcade People was "taking responsibility for their mistake". Origame, established in 2019, has released over 20 original games, and its most popular games celebrate local hawker culture. Chope! tasks players with reserving tables with tissue packets, while Kopi King requires players to "snatch" ingredient cards to make coffee shop drink orders. Origame co-founder and designer Daryl Chow told CNA that while the firm has experienced copyright issues overseas for its internationally licensed games, this is the first time their work had been "stolen" in Singapore. Despite this, Mr Pang said Origame would be willing to work with The Arcade People going forward if "they wish to license and adapt our games in a way that property respects the designers and illustrators who created them".
