In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police stated that the car is believed to have skidded, adding that the driver was taken conscious to the hospital.
He was subsequently arrested for drink driving amid ongoing police investigations.
The offence of drink driving carries a penalty of up to 12 months imprisonment, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
On Aug 4, Parliament passed new traffic laws that reduced the alcohol limit for drivers by more than half, from 35mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath to 15mcg per 100ml of breath.
The blood alcohol limit of 80mg of alcohol per 100ml will also be lowered to 30mg per 100ml.
This brings Singapore's prescribed alcohol limits — in force since 1985 — in line with jurisdictions such as Japan and South Korea.
