PUBLISHED ONOctober 01, 2026 8:00 AMUPDATEDOctober 09, 2026 3:03 AMBYSean LerThe police are looking for the driver of a white Toyota van after a hit-and-run accident in Sengkang on Wednesday (Sept 30) night.
A video of the incident shared with SG Road Vigilante and posted on its social media shows the van turning onto Compassvale Street from Punggol Road.
At this point, two pedestrians are waiting to cross the junction at the traffic island.
As the van makes the turn, it is seen understeering and heading for the two pedestrians, who manage to jump out of the van's way.
It ends up crashing into a cantilever traffic light, causing the mounted signal lights to fall.
Instead of stopping, the van is seen reversing to the middle of the junction, where it stops for several seconds, obstructing traffic.
It is then seen moving off again towards Anchorvale Street, with its front bumper dangling.
