A woman was hit by a car at Sengkang East Drive despite having right of way at the pedestrian crossing. In dashcam footage from April 4 shared by Facebook page SG Road Vigilante, two people can be seen crossing the road at a discretionary right-turn junction, where cars can turn right into oncoming traffic or pedestrians without the use of red-amber-green (RAG) arrows. The green-man light was flashing, and two cars can be seen passing in front of the man and woman, before the latter is hit from behind by a third car and falls over.
