PUBLISHED ONMarch 13, 2026 5:22 AMBYEsther LamA woman and two children were injured after a sedan beat a red light and crashed into them at an intersection in Hougang on Wednesday (March 11).
The police and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said they were alerted at about 5.30pm to the road traffic accident involving a car and a personal mobility device (PMD) at the junction of Hougang Avenue 8 and Hougang Street 61.
Dashcam footage posted by the ROADS.sg Facebook account on Friday (March 13) showed cars stopping at a red light as people start walking across the pedestrian crossing.
The woman and the two children, riding what appears to be an e-scooter, are seen crossing the junction as they pass by other pedestrians, including an elderly lady in red and a man in white.
As the e-scooter nears the end of the crossing, a red car suddenly dashes past the red light and collides into the PMD, knocking all three of them onto the road.
