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 (Sept 12).

His male passenger is still at large after fleeing the car on foot when it mounted a kerb and crashed into a tree.

The police said that at about 1.10am, traffic police officers were patrolling along the CTE towards Seletar Expressway, near Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1, when they came across a driver who was driving at a relatively slow speed on the extreme right lane.

An officer signalled to the driver to stop the car so that they could conduct a check, but he refused to stop and sped off. The officers gave chase.

In a video uploaded on Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, 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 seen chasing it.

It subsequently mounted a kerb in Canberra Street and collided into a tree, said the police.

The driver was arrested for dangerous driving, driving without a valid driving licence, and suspected drug-related offences.
