Traffic police car wrecked in high-speed chase near Geylang Serai

SINGAPORE – The lights were flashing along Haig Road, but it wasn’t the festive lights from the Geylang Serai Hari Raya Bazaar.

Next to a crowded bus stop stood a wrecked traffic police patrol vehicle with debris strewn on the roads – the aftermath of a high-speed chase.

Photos sent to citizen journalism website Stomp showed a mangled BMW car rear-ended by the police car, with the latter’s bonnet heavily damaged and air bags deployed.

The accident is believed to have occurred at 8.50pm today (June 26).
