Even though the traffic light showed the red man, a pair of pedestrians crossed the road at a busy traffic junction in Paya Lebar yesterday afternoon (Oct 2).

In video clips circulating online, they were seen hurrying to the other side of the road when they were hit by a passing taxi.

The impact of the collision sent the man and the teen girl flying several metres away.

Moments after landing on the road, the man got up on his feet and walked over to check on the teen, according to dashcam footage from motorists at the scene.

He was also seen approaching a motorcyclist for help.

Another motorcyclist helped pick up the pair’s belongings which were strewn onto the traffic junction.

The taxi, which had braked at the traffic junction after the collision, was seen driving slowly away from the junction.

The cabby pulled up at a nearby road and got out of his vehicle to check on the pedestrians.
