On the afternoon of October 12, a man was driving his newly-purchased car along Sin Ming Drive when a random Chinese pedestrian shot out of nowhere and abruptly collided into his vehicle. It’s shocking, to say the least. Especially when it seems like the person wasn’t even looking before he crossed the road.
There’s also footage from a rear-end camera installed in the car in front of him, so you can watch what happened from both the front and back angles.
Apparently, the driver got out of the car to assist the pedestrian, who was lying on the side of the road in pain. Someone else called an ambulance while he called the police.
Road traffic accident reports were lodged, and the driver filed an insurance report, although he was told he can’t claim damages from the pedestrian as pedestrians don’t have insurance coverage. The China worker’s boss, when contacted, claimed she couldn’t comment as she wasn’t present at the site of the accident, and said the man was nursing a concussion at the hospital.
What do you think — was it a terribly careless mistake or some sort of scam?
Also, PSA here — please install a dashcam if you don’t have one. You never know when it’ll come in handy.
