The police are looking for the driver of a dark-coloured van after a hit-and-run accident on the CTE on Sunday (June 21) morning.

Dashcam footage of the incident circulating on social media show the dashcam car driving along the rightmost lane of CTE towards the Ayer Rajah Expressway.

In the distance, a van is seen flashing its headlights at the dashcam vehicle, indicating that it is being driven against the flow of traffic.

Both the van and the car do not stop or change lanes and later come into contact.

The car later comes to a stop along the road shoulder, while the van stops briefly before moving off again.

According to the footage's timestamp, the incident happened at about 3.50am.

By comparing the background, green signage and the building on the left, AsiaOne was able to determine that the incident took place near Bendemeer Secondary School, before the Jalan Kebun Limau-Balestier Road exit.

Investigations are ongoing.
