Hit and run: Car speeding along PIE on wet road loses control, slides across lanes, hits lorry

Singapore – A driver who seems to have been speeding along the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE) was caught on camera crashing into another vehicle and leaving the scene. The dashboard camera of another vehicle captured this black sedan going very fast on the PIE on a rainy night when the road was wet and slick.

As the black sedan approached a bend, the driver appeared to lose control and begin skidding towards the centre lane.

The incident has been reported to Traffic Police, the post noted. Members of the online community urged road users to drive carefully to avoid endangering others. "This action endangering other road users life's, if hit a motorcycle, I think it will be a very horrible accident," said Facebook user Calvin Chai. "Other road users can be parents, a son, a daughter, a father or a mother of a family. Their children or their elderly parents need them. Irresponsible hit-and-run drivers like this should be banned from driving for a lifetime plus jail term & cane," the netizen added. /TISG Read related: Always give way to straight oncoming vehicles: taxi slams into vehicle leaving parallel parking https://theindependent.sg/always-give-way-to-straight-going-vehicles-taxi-slams-into-vehicle-leaving-parallel-parking/
