The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they were alerted to the incident in Yung Ho Road towards Jalan Tukang at 1.05am on June 14. SCDF said it assessed a person for minor injuries, but the person declined to be taken to the hospital. No other injuries were reported. In a video posted to SGRV's Facebook page, a grey van is seen moving off from a traffic junction when the light turns green. It then weaves between the right and left lanes a few times, before mounting the kerb outside a Certis Cisco building. Another driver is seen rushing to the van to check on the driver, along with two other men wearing helmets, with thick white smoke spewing from the van shortly after. The driver was later arrested, and police investigations are ongoing.

Two motorcyclists taken to hospital after seven-vehicle chain collision on Singapore's PIE
Four cars, one taxi and two motorcycles were involved in the pile-up. -- PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM SGRV/FACEBOOK via The Straits Times/Asia News Network SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Two motorcyclists were taken to hospital after a seven-vehicle chain collision on the PIE on May 17. The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force said they were alerted to the accident on the expressway towards Changi after the Upper Bukit Timah Road exit at around 9.50am. Four cars, one taxi and two motorcycles were involved in the accident, said the police. Two male motorcyclists, aged 24 and 30, were taken conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Police investigations are ongoing. In a video posted on Facebook page SGRV, a car in the rightmost lane of the expressway has its brake lights flashing in quick succession before slowing down. This appears to cause a car behind it to make a sudden stop, and to be hit by another vehicle. The video also shows a red car trying to take evasive action and hitting the foliage at the expressway divider before coming to a stop. Moments later, a motorbike skids across the lanes, landing in the middle of the expressway. It appears to be raining at the time of the accident. - The Straits Times/ANN

Cyclist slaps oncoming rider struggling with his own bicycle
A dashcam footage shared in Facebook group SGRV shows pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road at a traffic light in Tampines on May 2. A male cyclist in a black top appeared to be struggling with his bicycle as he crossed the junction of Tampines Avenue 7 and Tampines Avenue 12. As he left the kerb on the left, he seemed to be shaky on his bicycle, failing to ride smoothly across the road. Another male cyclist, who was in a blue top and crossing the road from the right, was forced to stop momentarily in order to avoid the unsteady cyclist in black. In a surprising turn of events, as the cyclist in black neared the cyclist in blue, the latter raised his right hand and slapped the former on the face. A Facebook user pointed out: "That is assault. Period." Another netizen said: "Even if he was blocked, he should not lay a hand on anyone. The road is shared by all. How he can take law into his own hands?" Many commenters on the video encouraged the dashcam car owner to report the incident to the police.
