Debris is seen strewn across the road with parts from the two vehicles, including bumpers, placed at the roadside.

At least two Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) fire engines and an ambulance are present at the scene, with firefighters seen around the overturned car.

Passers-by brought a stool for one of the two drivers to sit on while waiting for paramedics to check on his condition (left). The accident on Wednesday (June 10) night involved two vehicles.

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police and SCDF said the two drivers — a 61-year-old man and a 69-year-old man — were taken conscious to hospital.

The police added that they arrested the 61-year-old male car driver for drink-driving.

AsiaOne understands that the arrested person is the driver of the overturned car. 

Police investigations are ongoing.
