SINGAPORE – A Singaporean driver deliberately orchestrated a road accident – to save lives.
Education consultant Chalmers Chin was driving to work at about 8.30 am along the Pan-Island Expressway in Bukit Timah on Tuesday (Oct 1) when he saw a ComfortDelGro taxi moving erratically in front of him.
The taxi was weaving in and out of the middle lane, its hazard lights were blinking and a female passenger in the front seat was reaching over to the driver’s side, trying to steer the vehicle. Another woman passenger sitting behind had partially opened the rear door and was waving for help.
The traffic was heavy, but Mr Chin, 31, did not hesitate. “I sensed something was wrong,” he said. Driving along the right lane, he overtook the taxi, which was travelling slowly, and then cut in front of it to place his own car in its path.
The taxi then rammed into the rear of his car – as he knew it would – and the passenger in front managed to steer it to the road shoulder as it came to a halt. Mr Chin said that was the only way to stop the out-of-control vehicle.
