A 39-year-old man is assisting with ongoing police investigation after his car skidded and crashed onto a roadside verge in Woodlands on Friday (Sept 11) afternoon.

The incident happened at the junction of Woodlands Street 11 and Woodlands Street 13 at about 4.25pm, just after moderate to heavy thunderstorms swept across several parts of Singapore, including Woodlands.

A photograph of the incident shared to a motoring chatgroup shows the grey Hyundai saloon car mounted up the roadside verge, stopping just over a metre away from a staircase behind. 

The car's airbags are seen deployed and its bonnet badly damaged.

A traffic light located beside the Woodlands Street 13 street sign is presumably knocked over as it is not seen in the picture.

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police stated that the car is believed to have skidded at the junction.

They added that the male driver sustained minor injuries but refused to be taken to the hospital.

He is assisting with ongoing police investigations.
