A jaywalking pedestrian who attempted to cross three lanes of traffic along Punggol Way on Wednesday (Aug 3) was injured after she was hit by a car.
A 43-second video posted on Thursday evening by Andrew Ng on Facebook using footage from a car’s dashcam showed the woman weaving past cars in the third and second lane before being hit in the first lane by an oncoming car.
The dramatic video showed the woman being hit and flung in the air before landing about a metre from the car.
The female driver as well as other motorists and pedestrians are then seen providing aid to the victim.
The clip has since garnered more than 3,519 shares and close to 800 comments.
The Straits Times reported that the 60-year-old victim was in a conscious state when she was conveyed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. Many netizens saying that the woman was complacent and was not looking out for vehicles on her right when she crossed the first lane.
Police investigations are ongoing, added the Straits Times report.
