More than 12 people lift car upright after it ran red light and got T-boned in front of Parliament House

Singapore — The Singapore 'kampung' spirit was recently highlighted on social media after a vehicle disregarded a red traffic light and ended up T-boned and overturned by an incoming car. More than a dozen people were captured on camera working together to lift the vehicle that flipped over to assist a victim caught underneath. A blue Honda Vezel was spotted running a red light at the junction of North Bridge Road and Parliament Place on Sunday morning (Nov 14). A video of the incident was shared by Facebook page ROADS.sg on Monday (Nov 15). The vehicle capturing the scene on the dashboard camera came to a full stop at the junction as the lights were red. However, the Honda Vezel to its right sped on through the intersection.

It appears that a person was stuck under the Honda as it rolled over. Passing vehicles soon stopped by the area and helped lift the car to an upright position.
