SINGAPORE – An early morning car chase from the Central Expressway (CTE) to Canberra Street led to the arrest of a 31-year-old driver on Saturday (September 12).
Her male passenger remains at large after fleeing the car on foot when he stepped onto a sidewalk and crashed into a tree.
Police said that around 1.10 a.m., traffic police officers were patrolling along the CTE toward Seletar Expressway, near Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1, when they encountered a driver driving at a relatively slow speed in the far right lane.
An officer instructed the driver to stop the car so they could perform a check, but he refused to stop and accelerated. The officers chased them.
In a video uploaded to the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page, a white hatchback is seen driving against traffic at high speed.
On the other side of the road, at least three police vehicles, including two motorcycles and a car, are in pursuit.
Later, he stepped onto a sidewalk on Canberra Street and hit a tree, police said.
The driver was arrested for dangerous driving, driving without a valid driver’s license, and suspected drug-related offenses.
He was conscious when taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and no other people were reported to have been injured.
Police are looking for the male passenger to help with investigations. In the video, he was seen fleeing the scene towards adjacent apartment blocks, pursued by police on foot.
Police investigations are ongoing.
